Birth Plan

I’d like:

To view the birth using a mirror.

To touch my baby’s head as it crowns.

To have my baby placed “skin-skin” on my abdomen.

The room to be as quiet as possible.

To risk a tear rather than have an episiotomy.

My partner to help “catch” our baby.

After birth I’d like:

To hold my baby right away if possible.

To breastfeed as soon as possible.

To wait until the umbilical cord stops pulsating before it’s clamped

and cut, provided my blood loss remains within normal limits.

My partner to cut the umbilical cord.

lf I have a c-section, I’d like:

My partner present at all times during the procedure.

My baby to be lifted up so I can see him/her as soon as possible.

The baby given to my partner as soon as possible.

To breastfeed/bond with my baby in the recovery room.
