Have you ever heard someone make fun of birth plans or that their plan went “out the window”? Birth plans are not a wish list of your ideal birth but guidelines on your preferences. They are a way to communicate your wishes IF certain things happen not a list of everything about your perfect birth. When you look at it as a means to researching yoru options and a bridge to communicate with your provider instead of a wish list of your perfect birth, they become way more useful tools for your labor. #birthplan #labor #childbirth
