People are always asking if i have my birth plan ready or have i thought of my birth plan which got me thinking...how do i prepare a birth plan when (being my first baby) i really am not certain what im planning for? I mean ive read a lot and being on this site reading birth stories has helped i think but having no physical experience how do you prepare yourself for whats to come? Everyone says 'it hurts' but i dont think i'll truly grasp the term it hurts until i've done it IYKWIM?

How do i arm myself with the best possible birth plan? How did you come up with your first birth plan?
