Birth planning
50
I will help you draft your personalized birth plan by asking specific questions to put into words what you're looking for in a document. Will offer information on positions, pain management, meds, etc. Will probably ask questions you hadn't thought about and provide a bullet point, succinct document to provide the midwife/OB-GYN/doctor/medical professional.
I cover different aspects of labour from comfort measures to fears to your "ideal" birth to post partum wishes. We can discuss what you're looking for, what you're unsure about, what you'd like more information on and what you're looking for in a birth. I help prepare for things you may not have thought of or plan such as medical interventions, options for treatment of pain or what you may want to ask for, avoid or require.
If you prefer, I can also write up and email the document for you.
