I'm a first time mum and am torn between the thought that writing a plan for something I have never experienced before is a self indulgent exercise in futility and that it would be a good idea to have my thoughts and preferences decided beforehand.
To be honest it would be more like a "preferences for birth" but I'm still wondering if they're just a tool for you to retain the illusion that you can influence what happens in your birth - and I'm wondering if that is at all realistic and setting yourself up for failure.
