Question : I keep seeing and reading that I should write a Birth Plan. But, when I research it, it…

I've been thinking the same thing! I'm curious to see other comments! Tag me in your responses!

I actually just asked my doctor today. He told me not to worry about one, but just speak up about anything I want specifically.

hospitals usually have a paper you fill out as your birth plan so it gives them an idea of what you the mom would like yoir birth plan to be likes. essentially its a guide for your hospital and nurses :) u can usually look it up on your hospitals website.

I wrote a birthing plan and it's just to help make sure the doctors and nurses respect your wishes. Like if you want pain meds, what kind of pain meds, if you want to eat or just have clear liquids, who you want in the room, who you want to be able to visit the baby etc. I would check a few different websites on blank birthing plans. I kind of made my own but took bits and pieces from like 3 or 4 different ones. Again it's just to make sure that everyone understands how you want to have your baby. does that make sense? sorry if I got to wordy lol

Birth plans are recommended so doctors and nurses know what you would like during, for pain, food, music... Anything! It's not necessary, however a discussion with your doctor about how you would like things to be is definitely a good plan!!! But also be aware that you can have it planned down to the second and it will all change in an instant
