My Birth Plan

In Hospital natural birth

For Hospital Admission, we request:
-Husband to be present at all times.
-Heparin Lock only in case of emergency please.
-To decline discussion on pain tolerance & pain levels.

During Labor, we request:
-The medical caregivers to refrain, in the absence of any true medical emergency, from any practice or procedure that could unnecessarily stand in the way of our having the most natural birth as possible.
-Maintain a quiet room with no excess hospital staff.
-Please refrain from any reference to pain or offer any pain medication unless requested.
-Freedom of choice to walk, utilize birthing ball, and shower as a pain relief measure.
-Minimal number of vaginal exams to avoid premature release of membranes.
-To be fully apprised and consulted before the introduction of any medical procedure.
-Intermittent FHM unless medically necessary.
-No internal monitoring in the absence of fetal distress.
-No augmentation of labor via Pitocin, Amniotomy, or stripping of the membranes without discussion and explanation of need.

During Birthing, we request:
-To allow natural birthing instincts to facilitate the descent of the baby, as much as possible, with mother directed breathing down until crowning takes place.
-Use Hypnobirthing breathing techniques without staff prompts.
-To birth in an atmosphere of gentle encouragement, dim lights, limited staff in room.
-To assume a birthing position of my choice. Use
of squatting bar if desired.
- would rather risk ripping than recieving an episiotomy. No episiotomy in the absence of fetal distress.
-Use suctioning device rather than forceps if assistance is medically necessary.
-No cord traction, Pitocin, or manual removal of placenta unless there is an emergency.

All of it doesn't fit here so please go to the website below to see the rest.
