I wrote a birthplan a gave it to everyone who was going to be present. In the end it went out the window. Bub was posterior and presenting wrong.I ended up sampling all of their drug supply!!Epidural didn't work for me, only numbed my left side!DOH!And I ended up having an emergency c/s.Go in with an open mind and sometimes things happen bewond your control and always remember they are working for you!!DOn't get bullied by the midwives and docs.
I suggest you wait until your ante natal class as they will go thru all the options. I planned to go drug free if possilbe but certainly wasn't going to be a hero about it. By the time we got to the hospital I was 9cm which ruled out the epidural, however I did end up using gas and after forceps had an emergency ceasar which they then gave me a spinal for. So I suggest goes with what works for you at the time and this may change as each stage progresses.
