I'm due for an elcs in three weeks and I've just been writing my birth plan on the advice of my consultant.
Has anyone else done this and what kind of things did you include? I had a traumatic first birth with DD where my birth plan was completely ignored, and I guess I'm a little worried the same will happen again.
I have so far got that I'd like a commentary of what is going on, the screen lowered at the moment of birth (or is this a bad idea and will I faint when I see my tummy cut open?!) and immediate skin to skin with myself or DH. I've also added that's would like bf-ing support and if possible a cosleeper crib on the postnatal ward.
Is there anything else I should be thinking about? I don't really know what to expect and it's daunting!
