I wrote a CS birth plan last time along with a VB one..CS birth plan came into play!!!! This time if I end up having another CS...gee I envy the decision you have made..ever since I was offered another VB attempt i have had an ongoing struggle with what option to take??? I will be making a few changes, last time I got excattly what i asked for this time I will be asking for a lot more, just reading more threads etc.

Last time I got to see Poppy as soon as she was born, then they took her for those first checks ..I got to hold her approx 5 minutes after birth, she was completely wrapped which made it difficult, this time I would ask that i got to hold our new baby girl skin to skin. Dh cut the cord and we were allowed to video the birth, except Dh forgot to push record!!!! Poor boy, he copped it for that, so i will be asking for that this time as well.

Poppy and Dh never left my side, while i was being stitched up and in recovery..just perfect!!! I was'nt aware of anyone else in recovery, i am not sure but I am thinking there might be another special area they have set up for exactlly this reason? We BF in recovery, again perfect.
Dh got to stay for as long as he wanted, they will set a bed up for him if they are'nt super busy and if I don't have to share a room...

They offered for the screen to be dropped but I felt really sick and was'nt up for that or a maternally assisted birth, it does'nt interst me this time either..last thing I want is to feel sick all of a sudden and then miss out on the things that are more important to me, because I am sick.
So this time: I am asking to be able to go into labour hopefully it will end in success, if not at least baby got to choose her own birth date..If this is not okay..as close as possible to EDD.
Holding baby skin to skin straight away. Dh cutting the cord, birth filmed, its about time I got to see one of my babies be born!!! Stiches verus staples..OUCH..apparently my local hospital has gone away from staples, so no issue there. If i want to go a bit further away hospital wise, the OB will allow me to have an additional birth support person there??? Both of them there for stiching up and in recovery, first BF in recovery and then DH to stay with me the first night at least, i seem to have an anxiety issue, I am not sure whether that is the drugs??? being immobilsed??? hormones?? or a combo package..but I feel a lot more comfortable if DH is helping me with bubs, than relying on nursing staff...I have always had the midwifes help me shower etc, but this time will get DH to help with their guidance, i have always felt really uncomfortable and embrassed, not sure why???
Wishing you the best of luck...I actually wish i could just book in for the CS..life would be a lot simpiler..(DH and family would like me to, for lots of sensible reasons!!) you obviously have come further than me on that front.. i still feel a lot of guilt and failure by just booking in (my thought process!!! this might just be the one???unless you try you never know)..but am staying open minded..you just never know what might happen toward the end I might just have come to terms with it!!!???
Not to meation going through the summer heavily pregnant, might just be the nudge that I need to make the booking.
