Elective c-section and birth plan?

[Traveller]

It's absolutely fine to have a birth plan for your CS. In some hospitals things like keeping the baby with you at all times, including when you are being stitched up and in recovery, are not routine. It's also perfectly acceptable to have requests for things like the music playing as your child enters the world, or simple things like how you want to be addressed and if you want your partner involved in trimming the umbilical cord.

The best thing to do is write down your requests and discuss them with your midwife or OB at your next appointment. I'm sure they will be happy to accommodate you assuming your requests don't compromise safety.

There are definitely a few great ones around. I didn't have a specific one but I did have a section that outlined if I did have a c/s (which I did!) what I wanted. Mainly things to do with if the baby wasn't with me, DH was to be with baby the whole time (unless it was a super emergency) that I wanted bub with me in surgery (they tried to tell me it was too cold and he couldn't stay, but someone rugged him up and he stayed!) that I wanted to hold/feed in recovery - chose not to, and that I wanted to do baby led feeding/breast crawl. It is worth thinking about different scenarios, asking what the hospital says, and then telling them what you want. oxoxox

Nothing wrong with doing a birth plan at all hun. This is your birth experience regardless and the midwife is there to make it the best birth possible for you. If there are certain things that they can do to make it the most enjoyable birth then absolutely let them know.
Do you have an appt at the hospital/with a midwife were you are birthing where you can discuss and get information on how they do elective c/s? Might give you some ideas on things you like/want and don't like/want. Also a great opportunity to go over your birth plan prior to your c/s so if you have somethings you specifically want which isn't normal for that hospital it can give you and the hospital time to work out options that work for you.
