I have to discuss my birth plan with my consultant tomorrow. I'm struggling if I'm honest because this isn't my choice but I have to have a CS for this pregnancy (my second)
Would anyone be willing to share what they requested?
So far I've asked for a quiet operating theatre rather than music, and for my MW to come with me (still waiting on shifts) but to also place baby directly onto me and do checks there with weighing waiting until a bit later. So far so good as consultant suggested all three of those.
But what am I missing? Is there anyway to make this surgical birth feel like my own? DH will be with me, he is 100% behind the ELCS, and he thinks I'm being a bit silly not recognising the risk of natural birth without understanding as such why I am so sad about this delivery.
Thanks in advance.
