Kimbo1216 - Can I see your birth plan?

nursebecca79 · April 2011

I read the part of your plan that you posted in response to a question in a pp. It looks spot on with what I'm going with, but your partial is pretty much my whole plan. I'm wondering if I'm missing things. I was hoping maybe you would share the rest of it (If you don't mind) since it looks like you and I have some similar wants/wishes.

I may have covered most of it. I'll see if I can post it without it looking to jumbled. Here I go:

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}

***Please note. I am a first timer, and this is just a guideline for you/me to follow. These are things I have decided based on my own research. I am happy to answer any questions and listen to any suggestions you may have.

My Plan is to deliver: Vaginally

Present during delivery, I would like: 1. My husband, Kevin 2. My mom, Angela

Labor Augmentation: As little as possible. If necessary as deemed by doctor, I am ok with:

- whatever is deemed necessary and has been explained to myself and husband first

Pain Relief: Unmedicated if possible. Epidural if needed. ? Game time decision.

During Delivery, I would like to:

- Use a mirror to see the baby if available

- Avoid an episiotomy, forceps & vacuum extraction

Immediately following delivery, I would like:

- I would like my baby placed on my chest ASAP

- my husband to cut the umbilical cord once it stops pulsating

If a C-Section becomes necessary, I would like:

- To stay conscious

- My husband to remain with me the entire time

- The screen lowered so I can watch my baby come out

- To breastfeed ASAP

I would like to breastfeed:

- ASAP after delivery. Please ask before providing any other types of feeding.

I would like the medical exam & procedures to be:

- performed after my husband and I have had a chance to hold my baby first

- routine. Whatever is normal is fine. Please ask before administering any vaccinations.

- No Hep B shot please

Please DO NOT give my baby:

- sugar water, formula, or a pacifier without asking first

I have seriously tried to dwindle it down to just the basics. I bolded/made red extra important things to me.

I may have cut out even more since that one post. Who knows?

I don't want to overwhelm the nurses, but I do want certain things to be very clear!

I left out the curtain remaining lowered in the event of a c-section. Thanks so much!

Kimbo - Just curious why you are skipping the Hep B shot. Do you plan on getting it later? Or just skipping it all together?

Want a personalized experience?
