Birth Plan

[lostlilygirl]

So I have to make up a guideline of a birth plan to start talking with my doctor tommorow. I was just hoping people could help me cover all the bases...

C-sec
vaccum
forceps
epidural
laughing gas
Episiotomy
pitoson
fetal monitoring
membrane stripping
breastfeeding
enema
shaving
IV's

I'm just gonna list them and add a comment on my preference than talk with him about it all... just dont wanna miss anything if you guys have more i have missed PLS add!!!

God I hope my labor and delivery with Lilith is that easy Nicole.  It was like 10+ hours with #1... and 36 hours with #2.  My SiL had her daughter in 4 hours, counting the onset and the pushing, I am so jealous.  But I guess its better than the baby being born in the backseat of my Jetta.

I agree with a lot of you guys its nice to have a birth plan but a lot of things can happen and change during delivery although I knew nothing about a birth plan with my DD so I guess I just decided to take it when it happens and go with the flow....I had back labor with my daughter I was mainly home through it all by the time I made it to the hospital I was 4 cm they asked if I would like an epidural and I said yes please!!  but they werent able to get the needle in the right place because the guy doing it said my bones are to close together that there isnt enough cartilage to get it through... so I had to deal with no epidural but I said ok fine as soon as I layed down I felt the need to push called a nurse in and she got the doctor and he said your at 10 already ready to have the baby and I started pushing although it took me at least 30 mins to push her out I didnt tear at all he said a couple little ones but not enough to put stitches in... so I plan just to take it how I took it with her although it went so fast it turned out ok!!

Wow!  Yeah you've moved often!  I'm having Lilith at St. John's Medical Center in Detroit, the one on the boarder of Grosse Point and Detroit on Moross.
