Sep 13, 2018

Ali and Karly tackle the topic of birth plans in this episode of the podcast! Here’s an overview of what’s covered:

  • The definition of a birth plan, and why it’s probably better to think of it as a list of birth PREFERENCES instead of a plan
  • Where to begin when putting together your birth preferences, including the importance of getting good prenatal education, choosing a supportive care provider, and having excellent support during labor (i.e. get a doula!)
  • How to organize your birth plan, including things you might want to include about labor, birth, and the postpartum period
  • Some tips for making a birth plan for a cesarean
  • Why it’s so important to keep it short and sweet!
  • Some things you probably DON’T need to include
  • How to present your preferences to the staff at your birth place in a way that fosters communication and teamwork
