Will your Mom be in the delivery room? My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
My birth plan Environment - I prefer a private room in the hospital Companions - I only want my partner, doctors, nurses and midwives in the room - I would like my partner or companion(s) to be with me during labor Fetal monitoring - I would like the baby to be monitored using a Doppler - I would like to have continuous fetal monitoring Photos & videos - I would like to have a video shot after birth - I would like to have a video shot during birth - I would like to have a video shot during labor - I would like to have pictures or videos taken during every stage of labor and birth - I would like to have pictures taken after the birth - I would like to have pictures taken during birth - I would like to have pictures taken during labor Induction - If necessary, I am ok with my waters being broken to induce labor Pain relief - If possible, I would like an epidural Tearing & episiotomy - I would like to have directions regarding when to push or not to push, so as to avoid tearing During labor - I would like to be able to move or walk around freely - I would like to try various birthing positions Cesarean birth - Do not perform a hysterectomy, unless it is the only option to save my life - I would like my partner or companion to be with me if I have a cesarean birth - I would like the baby to be given to my partner immediately after delivery - If an emergency cesarean is required, I would like to stay awake Delivery - I would like directions regarding when to push or not to push, so as to avoid tearing After delivery - I do not want to be given any drugs to speed up the delivery of the placenta - If possible, I do not want to be separated from my baby after delivery - My partner will stay with our baby if there is an emergency - We would like to have skin-to-skin contact and time to bond with the baby as soon as possible after delivery Umbilical cord - I don’t want the umbilical cord to be cut immediately, but want to wait until it stops pulsating, so that the baby gets all the remaining cord blood Feeding - I would like to breastfeed my baby as soon as possible after birth - I would like to have some help the first time I breastfeed my baby
Am I the only one that does NOT have a birth plan? I mean I just plan on going with the flow really...
I wish I would have been with the right person before I got pregnant. I know it wasn't planned & I was on birth control , but I just feel like I chose the wrong person to have a child with ... I can't trust him , he's selfish, and he's done too much to me for the whole relationship that I really don't think I'll be able to trust him ever again . I just want my daughter to have a family thats together... I dont want her to be split up like I was . That's why I keep trying, but its getting too hard 😣😞😢

Girl, my birth plan didn't go exactly to plan.. Usually it never does.. Make sure you write it down and when you go into labor you give it to your nurse.. I wish I did that :(

I already have it written down :) I know they usually don't go as planned, but doesn't hurt to have one. just as long as baby and I are safe is what truly matters.
