Birth Plan Preparations

From what nurses shared with us the more succinct the plan, the better likelihood for hospital staff to actually glance at it. We excluded some items that were irrelevant to major decisions, such as my personal preferences for ice chips, battery operated music player, breathing techniques, etc.


Remember to print several copies in order to give to appropriate staff, include within your hospital chart, etc.


What will/did your birth plan include? How early do you share your birth plan with your doctor, midwife, doula, etc.?
