Hi, I went with a public hospital which didn't encourage birth plans as they felt it led to false expectations of what would happen if things didn't go to plan. I went against this though and wrote out my birth plan only to have it ignored by the midwives. I've learnt alot from my own mistakes and you need to make it clear to your midwives that you have a birth plan and you want it followed but at the same time keep in the back of your mind that not all births go to plan and that you may need to make some changes. Make sure that what ever you decide is right for you that your support person knows what you want and don't want and is able to speak up for you if you can't. I hope that everything goes well for you and that you have a great birthing experience.

Best wishes
Sharon
