Each of us have a different idea of what our birthing experience should be like. Although none of our ideas are going to be exactly accurate, you should write down a birthing plan or at least talk it over with your husband and doctor.You can find a template for birth planning here.
Things to be included in a birthing plan are:
plans for medication or not.
If the unexpected happens what procedures are to be followed. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
How long are you willing to wait if problems occur to have a possible C-Section.
Is a C-Section an option for you.
How specifically, will you manage pain.(There are many options out there both natural and prescription).
Decide now if you will breastfeed, and how long you will be willing to try if you find difficulties before you give up.
It is very helpful to have a plan, and also be ready for the unexpected. My birthing plan was stopped short when my baby was not receiving nutrients from the placenta and he stopped growing. they waited as long as the doctors dared for his development and then took him early. That is when the variations in my plan just begun.
