Share your birth intentions (birth plan)

[Peg]

My birth plan should be pretty easy considering i'm having an elective c-s


I would like to be put into a timeslot as early as possible in the morning

I want to have the spinal epidural and to be awake.

I do not consent to having blood transfusions if it is deemed necessary. I do accept the alternatives to blood such as non-blood expanders and pharmaceuticals that control haemorrhage and stimulate the production of red blood cells. Or as an alternative to these, i would like the use of the cell-saver in case of emergency.

I would like the Misgav Ladach method cut to be performed.

I would like to spend a few minutes holding bub before being taken away.

I would like DH to be with me throughout.

DH to cut the cord.

DH is to stay with bub while midwife is cleaning and checking bubs apgar scores.

I do not want the placenta to be returned to me but I would like confirmation that it has been removed in whole before being sutured.

I absolutely DO NOT consent to the hepatis B injection for my baby or any other immunisations.

I DO consent to the vitamin K injection by oral dose only.

I do not want staples to be used for my stitching but prefer tape.

If Bub and DH can be in the recovery room with me, i would prefer this as i would like to try to bf. If its not possible then Im happy to wait until i am moved back into my room.


that should just about do it.
