If you haven't thought about writing your birth plan yet,
it's time to start thinking about it. A birth plan is your way
of letting your OB know your preferences and desires for how
you wish your delivery to go in ideal circumstances. You can
also discuss your feelings about any complications that may
arise. It's simply a guide or an outline for your birth. Keep
in mind that you will need to consider the facilities you are
birthing in as well as the possibility that if a problem arises
you may need to change plans. You need to discuss your birthplan
with your partner your doctor or midwife, and any other person,
such as a doula, that may be present at the time of labor. Have
a copy put with your medical records, and also bring a copy with
you to the hospital for your partner to refer to if necessary.
