  I never made one because everything I wanted was standard at home...also I spent so much time at each of my appointments with my MW, I figured she knew what I wanted.

  I didn't do a home birth, but I didn't do a birth plan either.

  Each meeting with my MW we would talk through some aspect of labour and she'd make notes about what I wanted.

  Maybe think about what you want in terms of labour/ after the birth and discuss these things with your mw. Find out if she has any standard procedures or how she does certain things, and if there's things that matter to you like DH cutting the cord or catching the baby, make sure she's knows.

  My midwife asked me questiins in my prenatal appts about our plan and made notes in my file for anything that wasnt their standard practice. I didnt have to write anything down and she either remembered it all or quickly reviewed my file before she came over because she made no mistakes.
