When do you do a birth plan?

Noodles · Oct 5th, 2009, 10:28 AM

I'm still in denial about giving birth, the stork is bringing my baby and I'm going to buy it some nice seed to say thank you.

Is there a set amount of weeks that you need to have done a birth plan by?

its up to you really i guess my midwife hasnt mentioned it yet but ive been writing and re writing it for the past couple of weeks.

Phew, at least i'm not the only one. I could mention it to my midwife, but then she might ask me scary questions about pain relief and stiches and icky stuff and I don't think she would appreciate the 'la la la' **fingers in ears** responce she would get.

I may think about it more when I got on mat leave.

I made a word doc with nothing on it but all the areas I need to cover as taken from a website.

Although most advice says keep it concise and short.

I think yours can be put into three very short lines:

Noodles' Birth Plan:

1. Stork brings baby.
2. Give stork seed.
3. We all eat cookies.

i've only just written a few notes in mine at 40+7!!! i was also in denial. i've just written who birth partner is. pain relief wanted and that i want an active birth and husband to cut cord. skin to skin contact as soon as possible. and that i'll be breastfeeding.
