It’s best not to have a birth plan…just go accordingly for a stress-free birth!…

great article , i enjoyed reading this

I enjoyed read this article – thank you for sharing 🙂

I never went to any classes, but I guess classes suit some people.

I think it happens when it happens. thanks for sharing

I don’t think I could ever do this but I’m very admiring of the woman who can. I don’t like the idea of a home birth at all though…better to be around doctors so if the worst happens they can step in right away.

Great article in theory but as we all know sometimes our own ideas of the sort of birth we want and have imagined doesn’t match up with the reality of the birthing suite.

I didn’t have a choice. I was per-eclamptic with both my pregnancies I had to have caesars.

All good to plan for this bit thing may change at the drop if a hat and as long as mum an bub are healthy who cares

All good advice, but at the end of the day a healthy baby and healthy mum are the best outcomes. With both of my pregnancies I would have liked to experience a natural labour and birth but that was not to be. While sometimes it has been difficult to know that I didn’t have the births perhaps that I would have preferred, I have come to understand that that is just the first step in a long journey of becoming a mum…much more important is what follows as you grow into parenthood with your child/children. Two emergency c-sections later and I have two amazing and beautiful boys…and a new-found respect for what my body can do under the most stressful of circumstances! 🙂

I think if its going to happen, it will.

I think it all happens when it happens

Really who does this…women have been giving birth for millions of years, have checkups and listen to the midwives and doctors but its a natural process……I wonder sometimes how myself and my parents survived -am i the only woman who did it alone with the midwife ( public hospital chosen and nurse in late stages) with all the fuss no wonder women are confused and feel guilty when things don’t go to ‘plan’ and they need a c
Section or cannot breast feed – I went public had the midwife, nurse and intern on duty and guess what had a healthy baby – later had to have emergency d&c and was very well looked after….I was by myself for first as father was os I am dumbfounded now we need to employ birth coaches and blah blah incredible

I took the drug and was so relaxed it was a great experince

I had a birth plan but it all went out the window when my boy was born at home, delivered by my partner! Things don’t always go to plan and just let things happen and don’t stress if it doesn’t all go according to plan. As long as baby is healthy that’s the main thing!

In all honesty, I just go with the flow, don’t stress myself out and educate myself and my husband as much as possible.. AND be prepared in advance..

I never had a plan, I just went with the flow and my 3 girls were born naturally.
