I never went into my three previous births with a plan - I just wanted to go with the flow and see how I felt at the time about certain things and that has worked well for me, but having said that I have done one for this pg because of a few things that happened with Paige's birth (retained placenta) that I want to avoid this time round.

Whatever you decide educate yourself as much as you can about positions, drugs, c/s, the whole kit and kaboodle so that when the time comes you can make informed decisions and not be railroaded into something you may not be 100% comfortable with, so if they say "right, we want to do this" you can say "no, I would rather do it this way' kwim?
