Just like life, many things can sometimes not go as we planned. It is important to think through and make a plan for what you would like to see happen for your labor & delivery, but also a backup plan if your first plan doesn't happen the way you would like.
Some things to think through are,
- Who would you like to be at your birth?
- Who is your main support person? Will you have a doula?
- Would you like to plan to move around during labor?
- What features in the room would be most helpful to you- music, lighting, etc.
- How would you like to go about medical interventions and pain management?
- Is skin-to-skin something you would like to have directly after birth?
- Would you like to breastfeed or use formula?
There is so much! You can also Google examples of birth plans to get any additional ideas of things to think through!
You got this!
