Birth plan

clarel976 · Apr 9th, 2012, 09:54 AM

Hey ladies
Does this sound reasonable, gonna show it my consultant tomorrow

• Drip in none dominant arm (left)
• Put ECG dots away from the front of the chest, if possible, on back of shoulders and on the side
• Once babies head is out, drop the drape
• Deliver baby slowly allowing the lung fluid to be squeezed out of babies lungs and for us to see baby be born (walking the baby out)
• Discover the sex for ourselves
• Place baby straight onto my tummy/chest
• Delay cord clamping
• Dad to cut cord
• Do babies checks whilst still with me
• Dad to take baby to the scales when baby needs to leave me
• For me to have as much skin to skin as possible as long as everything is fine with baby
• Baby can have vitamin K injection
• Baby to be breastfed (hopefully)

There is a thread on here with a video on a "Natural C-Section" which is exactly what you are asking! Maybe it will help you show your Dr. what you want!

GL and I hope you have an amazing birth!

Its that thread where i got the ideas from, I just wanted to make sure I didn't sound too OTT. Many thanks and good luck to you also x x

Sounds good. They might not let the dad cut the cord while baby is still attached, but they'll leave the cord long enough for dad to 'trim' it lol

I don't think that it sounds OTT at all! If I have to have a c-section this time I will be asking for the exact same thing!

Well it was the registrar I saw today, she said most of it would be possible apart from she has to cut the cord, and the baby will be have its checks done before it comes to me as one side of the curtain is sterile x x

Im just writing my section birth plan, I have 11 days to go. So far I have only got that I want skin to skin and if I cant take her she is to go straight to hubby and that I want to BF. I see my MW tomorrow and was going to ask her what other things I should include if I'm pretty much open to them getting her out the best way we will both be safe. Skin to skin and BF are the things so important to me, is there anything else I've overlooked? I'm at the nervous stage now so have probably forgotten something really important!
