OK mumsnetters - check out a selection of proposed items on my birth plan - AIBU
Context - I am just over 25 weeks pregnant, will have the baby in a large noisy london hospital, so will be unlikely to have continuity of care.
-
MUSIC if I want it (and yes DH will bring the portable ipod with speakers)
For example some killer tracks, how about:
Are we Human or are we Dancer?
or
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
with that great refrain:
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out, yeah
- Getting in a birthing pool for pain relief.
- Have the lights down low.
- Having dh bring in home made pasta if I want it.
- Asking anyone who enters to use antibacterial gel.
- Requesting that I only have dh and essential staff in the labour room.
- requesting a hands off approach by staff as to the baby after giving birth, for those first precious moments.
- letting cord stop pulsating before they cut the cord
- requesting natural delivery of the 3rd stage of labour.
I know the above assumes all goes well.
I'd also be interested if anyone did a birth plan that hospital staff took notice of.
