I, (whoever I am),
am preparing to give birth at the birth center. I have no room
preference. Whatever room is available will be fine.
·
My support team includes my husband, Chef
·
We plan on staying home until labor is active
for at least two hours.
·
I plan on wearing my own clothes.
·
I plan on inviting my mother, and
sister to the birth center AFTER the birth of my baby
·
I trust my body’s ability to birth my baby. I
plan on a drug free birth.
During Labor I’d
Like…
·
To bring my own food to the birth center
including
o
coconut water, Gatorade, fruit, trail mix
·
Dimmed lights/mood lighting
·
The room as quiet as possible excluding music or
sounds from sound machine
·
As much privacy as possible
·
As few interruptions as possible
·
My husband to film and/or take pictures
·
My husband to be present the entire time
·
The midwife provide lots of verbal
encouragement, physical touch, and be present with me as much as possible
I’d Like fetal
monitoring:
·
To be performed with a fetoscope/Doppler
For pain relief I’d
like to use:
·
Massage, meditation, and other techniques
suggested by the midwife
During delivery I
would like to:
·
Birth in the birth pool
·
Use the Birthing from Within method of
childbirth
·
Have my husband assist in the birth of our baby
As the baby is
delivered, I would like to:
·
Push as directed
·
Use whatever methods my midwife deems necessary
Immediately after
delivery, I would like:
·
The umbilical cord to be cut only after is stops
pulsating
·
To take the placenta home after the birth (we
will bring a cooler for transport)
After baby is born:
·
I wish my privacy to be protected, my guests
will remain in the family room until after I have nursed the baby.
Baby’s medical exam
and procedures:
·
We prefer no eye ointment
·
We prefer injectable Vitamin K
