First time was I think relatively standard, but not overly long. I had less criteria second time around, with things like "if I want an epidural I'll ask for one, so please don't offer" and stuff like that. Pretty simple.
This time around when the midwife asked me what my birthplan was I said it was to have a baby. The only stipulation I had was that I was keeping my placenta for encapsulation. Otherwise, told her I've been there done that, have complete trust in my OB to be as low/no intervention as safely possible, trust in my DH to support whatever it is I say and not push me down any particular road, and trust in myself that I'll speak up if necessary. I know from past experience that I birth extremely well, so provided nothing goes pearshaped, it should all be fine.
