Like Bad Mammy said all hospitals are very different so I am giving my experience of having a baby at North Tees Hospital. My birth plan was quite important to me as in a way it took away some of the sheer panic (i thought if I could control just one thing of my labour than it gave me the power back). Also I am allergic to lots of medicines and anti emetics (the stuff that stops you vomiting which is always used during labour) so I felt it very important everybody knew about this. Anyway at the hospital each midwife and MW assistants I had took my birth plan and read through it very carefully, they made sure most of what was on there happened, even down to them preparing my screamish husband whenever anything gruesome was happening. Now I know this is my experience but I do think its worthwhile doing one cos it can bring up questions that you have never thought about and it might put you at ease a little. I made sure my husband was in charge of taking the birth plan out of the bag and distributing it to all staff (yes I had copies). <br />Something that is important to remember like Bad Mammy said is that things can change and sometimes all your plans go out the window, so don't hold onto your birth plan like it is gospel cos after all you are pushing a small person out of you and they do not always cooperate with your plans :-) x Please don't hurt me Bad mammy :-) xAlexGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201898102918585424noreply@blogger.com
