Did you birth plan's go to plan - Page 2

Zarababy1 · Jul 3rd, 2009, 05:12 AM

Yeah i almost had exactly what i wanted

I wanted tens machine untill pain got too bad then move to gas and air- got that
I wanted to walk about for a bit untill the pain got to bad then move in to the birthing pool- got that
I wanted my mum and OH there and only one Midwife no one else- got that
I wanted to have the baby in the water- didnt get that! i could have if i wanted too tho it was just i wanted to push and she didnt think i was ready so wanted me to get out to have a look, once i got out i couldnt move anway and started pushing as soon as i got on the bed!

Over all it was great, didnt have anything over than gas n air and didnt need stiching or anything!

I didn't have a plan as such but it did not go how I thought it would go.

Was two and a half weeks early and had to have forcepts delivery with spinal block in theatre with episiotomy (with threatened c section if forcepts were not successful/possible).

I was prepared for whatever was required so what was necessary was necessary - I have no issues with it.

Apart from being induced, yes. I wanted to do it with no pain relief and I did it. So proud of myself

didn't really have a plan but as Jake was laying back to back i did plan to have an epi just for the delivery but things happened to quickly and i did it all on just gas and air. Looking back i'm pleased tho as i was up and about straight after the birth

Mine never left my bag and I am sooo pleased.

In mine I said I wanted an epidural and under no circumstances no matter how much I begged DO NOT give me pethedine. I wanted an epidural due to SPD I was suffering from. I wanted gas & air too.

In the end they only offered me pethedine and there wasnt enough time for an epidural so I did the birth part naturally. I tried a few go's on gas and air but it was making me go to sleep between contractions sp they took it off me lol

Im so pleased the birth went the way it did Im so proud of myself for managing better than I thought I would and next time Id do exactly the same.

Not one single bit of mine went to plan.

I wanted to go naturally and had to be induced.

I wanted a water birth but couldnt due to high blood pressure.

I wanted to be able to move around but they had to keep me on the bed with a monitor on baby.

I only wanted gas and air but had pethadine and then epidural.

I wanted to cut the cord but had to have an emergency c-section so never got the chance.

reallytinyamy · Jul 3rd, 2009, 08:43 AM

Yes as in everything I could do- no pian relief etc,

all went tits up cos of my blood pressure but thing that could and should have been done wernt, as in mark was to cut the cord- mw just did it, chloe needed imediate blood tests and the cord needed preseving on instruction of the consultant, i told her that she told me not to be silly and refused to do it...she never read my plan despite saying she had

I got everything I wanted and more.

It was a natural vaginal birth. I was relaxed and calm, didn't have or need any pain medication (not even G&A), I used my TENS machine, the birthing pool, and finally pushed my baby girl out on the bed

OK, so I didn't 'plan' to get a third degree tear...but does anybody??

i did not have a birth plan really but heres what i wanted

Wanted a normal delivery - that happened
Wanted only gas and air - that happened
Wanted to be moving about - That happened
Wanted to be in the water as long as possible - that happened
Wanted to not need stitches - that happened to lol

So better than i expected and pretty much exactly what i wanted though
