Birth plan

I used the Mama Natural template and updated to what I wanted/didn’t want. If you search “mama natural birth plan,” it will come up. It’s nice too because it’s all pictures and not a ton of reading for your clinical team

Include the kind of things you both do and don't want. Like, "if necessary, i want the vacuum and not forceps." If you want your spouse to cut to the cord/if they want to.

I put in things like wanting delayed cord clamping, doing tests in the room whenever possible, and not allowing visitors until we've slept. Remember it's a wishlist more than how it will definitely go, so imagine your ideal birth scenario and write down what makes it ideal. Things like who you want in the room, what you want to wear, what positions you want to try are all good things to include

I included jobs for my husband (keep me hydrated, make me laugh, massage my back etc). I included the hypnobirthing techniques i wanted to use. Affirmations i wanted my midwives and my husband to repeat to me. The lighting i wanted. Music Playlist i wanted to use. I wrote a birth plan for vaginal delivery and for c section. The people I wanted in the room. Delayed cord clamping until white. Immediate skin to skin. No wiping baby clean. Vit k shot and erythromycin to be provided.

Stuff like that!!!
