Min foedselplan!


Denne planen er nok litt uklar, men jeg poster den allikevel!

My Birth Plan

Sandra Gudem Christensen

Due Date: 6th. December 2009

Partner: Gregory Paul Bigelow

My Birth Plan is prepared for Normal Vaginal Delivery

Support persons: Greg

Place of Birth: RPA Birth Centre

Procedures and Labour

  • Maintain mobility
  • I prefer no restrictions (Eat and drink to my comfort)
  • I would like to choose my positions for pushing and giving birth- all fours/squatting etc.
  • I do not want to deliver in the supine position
  • I want to be able to labour in the shower/birthpool

Monitoring

  • I do not wish to have continuous foetal monitoring unless it is required by the condition of the baby
  • In the event that I require or have chosen foetal monitoring, I prefer use of the Doppler

Pain-relief

  • I plan to give birth naturally without medication.
  • I am however aware of my options for analgesic pain relief and will ask for it I feel it is needed.

Normal Childbirth (vaginal delivery)

  • I would like to have the baby placed on my stomach/chest immediately after delivery.
  • Please dim the lights for the birth
  • I would appreciate having the room as quiet as possible during labour and when the baby is born.
  • I want to be allowed time for bonding and breastfeeding prior to all newborn checks (weighing and measuring).

Placenta

  • I want a natural 3rd stage. I do not want an injection of Syntocinon after the delivery to aid in expelling the placenta unless I am heavily bleeding. 
  • I want to wait until the umbilical cord stops pulsating before clamping, to allow my baby to receive the valuable blood and iron stores.

Episiotomy

  • I do not want an episiotomy - prefer to tear
  • Local Anaesthesia ok (for repair)

Induction/Augmentation

  • I wish to be free of time limits and not have my labour augmented unless in a medical emergency.
  • I would prefer to be allowed to try changing position and other natural methods before any induction is administered.
  • If I require Syntocinon, I would like a very low dose, to be increased gradually and slowly. Once my labour is established I would like to choose to stop the dose being increased, lower the dose or stop the drip to allow my body to continue to labour without artificial oxytocins.
  • I prefer to be cannulated in my right hand/arm

Complications & Caesareans

  • Unless absolutely necessary, I would like to avoid a Caesarean birth
  • In the case of medical emergency leading to caesarean delivery I would prefer:

- Spinal/epidural anaesthesia

- I would like my partner present in the theatre/recovery room

- Pictures to be taken

- Screen lowered to view birth

- Touch the baby

- Cord to be clamped only once it has stopped pulsating

- partner to cut cord

- To have skin to skin contact with my baby in the theatre as well as in recovery
