When to write birth plan??

[SavannahRose]

hey ladies

I'm 25 + 2 and wondered when i should start to think about my birth plan??

:)

I'm 33+2 today and haven't done mine yet. This is my second DC, though, and I have a general idea of what my preferences are.
I don't think it is ever too early to start thinking about that and informing yourself, so you can make an informed choice and don't have to wait for the midwife/consultant to tell you things.

If you haven't done anti natal yet I would maybe wait till after that as there may be a few things that you haven't thought about that maybe available to you. But it doesn't stop you writing one, as you can change it as many times as you like! Write it on some paper and slot it into your notes so you can change it to your hearts content!!!

I wrote mine at 38 weeks but felt I was pushing my luck. Had a good nose round google and MN for ideas for it though which was worthwhile. There are some pretty interesting threads on here about what to put in it which might give you some inspiration.

Thank-you for reminding me about writing mine!
