this was my birth plan
The m/w read mine and did take not but checked out everything hadn't changed for me . The only thing i didn't get was an active birth but then was induced so knew that would be the case before i got to hosp. I also made sure my husband knew and understtod my birth plan so he could question if it was not been followed
Birth Plan
Student Midwives are welcome
I want to be as active as possible during birth
I would ideally like to manage with gas & Air but should I not be managing will consider and epidural
If mobile epidurals are available that would be preferential for me
I do not want to be given pethadine.
I would like to be aware as would my husband as to what is going on all of the way through and unless extreme emergency would like to be talked through any intervention that takes place.
Whether c section or natural delivery, would like immediate skin to skin contact with my baby and an attempt to feed.
My husband does not wish to cut the cord
I would like medication to assist with the 3rd stage
