Birth Plan

bubbles · May 20th, 2008, 10:54 AM

I have just read GemGems thread about the home birth and just wanted to know what people were doing. I know I'm only 14weeks but have already decided mine. I'm having it in hospital but I want an 'active birth' basically you can walk around and do what you want and also give birth in whatever position you feel comfortable in, I'm only having gas and air if I really need it and nothing else. I'm just being nosey really

there is a list of questions in my hospital pack that basically covers all you need for a birth plan; don't know if you have that but I would ask your midwife..

After my OH declined my idea of a home birth i suggested a water birth his reply to that was ' EMA SOUP YUCK!!' lol so im having a normal birth in hospital and hopefully im wishing a drug free birth maybe gas and air but i wont be ruling out any other drug until im in actual labour as i might need it

I'll be having my LO in hospital but I haven't got as far as thinking about anything else. Not sure what I think of epidurals and the other drugs on offer?? I'll want more than gas and air though, I think it's brave that you want to go without.

Im due in August and have tried organising a birth plan but so far everything ive wanted has been thrown out because the hospital closest to me is rubbish! Going to start again next month

I've started my birth plan. We haven't a choice but to go to a hospital. But I want a natural, drug-free birth so I want to be well-prepared to "fight" for that (the doc already offered a c-section!). I also don't plan on going into the hospital until I'm well into my labour.
