I obviously can't help you with yours Mario, but if anyone could give me a hand on what to put in mine then it would be greatfully appreciated, I haven't got a clue what I want other than I know that I want as little pain relief as possible, although if I end up needing it all then thats fine too and I want Matt to cut the cord and her to be put straight onto my chest xx

I would love a water birth and very little pain relief some nice relaxing music and hubby with me at the head end the whole time lol, How sad am I i'm not even pregnant and already thinking birth plans lol

Hey hun, probs cant really help but your midwife should be discussing it with you very soon, my MW mentioned mine today and that we will 'discuss it' next time I go in 2 weeks.

Last time all I really said was that I was open minded but would really like Simon to cut the cord but didnt even get that!!

Oooo how did that happen?? Thankyou whoever swapped the threads over xx

have you started your classes yet? they went over birth plans at mine.

also, do you not have a bit at the back of your notes with a birth plan to fill out? (mine did)

cow and gate and boots have ones to give you an idea, also NHS website.

might went to plan (except i had a water birth when i didn't want one )

do you want an injection to help deliver placenta, vitamin k for baby, student present?

i'm the same as susan , spent ages writing one and they never even looked at it and nothing went to plan. I do think its worthwhile doing one though, i think i got a template for mine off the nhs website.

mine was that i wanted dim lighting, as quiet as possible, as little pain relief as possible, hubby to cut cord, skin to skin contact, injection for placenta and vitamin k injection for baby (rather than oral doses), i also really wanted a water birth but as i was induced in the end i couldn't have one, but otherwise it was good and went to plan except for it being dim light - it was actually hailing/sunny and the windows were open

my midwifedidnt do abirth plan with me..

i just went online looked for a template and then filled in the gaps. it was really good as they told you about so much which you wouldnt think about..

no one looked at my notes paart from the surgeon who tired to give me paige on my front. but i was soo drugged up and tired i didnt want to know x
