I've wrote out a very brief birth plan with my midwife, but every labour is different. I think the main thing is to be open minded about everything and don't rule something out completely.
I really want a pool birth, with just gas and air, and to be kept as mobile as possible. I really don't want an epidural etc, but I haven't completely ruled it out, and will be used as a last resort. The only thing I really don't want is to be flat on my back when it comes to the pushing etc, but obviously if i have no choice then so be it.
It's best just to have a brief plan and know what you'd like. Don't put too much into hoping that it will go exactly as planned as the chances are that it won't, just go in there open minded and listen to your body.
I'm a first time mum myself and am nervous as hell, but I'm hoping to go in there with an open mind and a relaxed attitude with regards to my birth plan. The most important thing is that we give birth to our babies safely, if it's not the way we wanted then so be it, as long as our little ones are out safe and sound surely that's all that matters? xxxx
My partner know what i want too which I think is important,
