Birth Plan Consultation
25
Welcoming a new little life? Congrats, Mama (and/or Papa)! Perhaps you've heard of a birth plan, aka a document that helps you to articulate what your desires are during labor and delivery. This ranges from big things like where you're planning on giving birth, who you want to be present, to little things like if you want music playing or if you want the lights low. It also records your preferences about a variety of internventions for both you (such as pain meds, being induced, having continuous fetal monitoring, etc) and baby (having vitamin K shots, cord clamping, first feeding, etc) . Also, it helps to record your wishes in case complications arrise and transfer to a hospital (if you're not already in one) and/or an emergency c-section are needed.
All this to say, there's a lot to think about and consider! If you need a helping hand to think through your birth plan and to consider your options, I'm your lady! Would be happy to discuss your birth plan with you through messenger, in person, over the phone, or video chat.
