With Landon I had no plan...I knew I wanted the epidural I was terrified of the pain, I was 16, I ended up getting it at 8cm and not in that much pain, I could have gone the whole time without it but was too scared. But everything went fine in his birth, nothing unexpected.
Casen was exactly the opposite of what I wanted. I wanted just a vaginal delivery, was ok with the epi again but didn't plan to have it just whatever happened at the time I would decide. The biggest thing I didn't want was a csection...which is what I got...and a terrible one at that.
Hayden's wasn't what I planned but was great in ways I didn't expect. I wanted a VBAC which I got.
Didn't want to be induced...I was BUT it was more naturally than with Casen and not as hard on me.
I wanted a water birth, they wouldn't let VBAC be water birth
I didn't want an epi, I had one
I didn't want the midwife I got, she was the only one int he practice I didn't like, turned out she was the best for me in labor and I'm so glad I had her.
Something wonderful I never planned was delivering Hayden myself
