Birth Wishes
Preparing for your birth is essential to feeling confident and in charge of your birth.
A birth plan or birth wishes is a must when birthing in a hospital it shows the care providers you have educated yourself on the type of birth you want to achieve.
It shows your birth preferences and that you have prepared yourself and your team to support you to achieve the outcome to the best of your ability and to also know that birth is unpredictable and you are prepared to be flexible on the day.
When going into a birth with no preferences you can end up being led down the path that is most suitable for the hospital and their policies. Whose birth is it though?
Know your choices, be informed and make decisions that are in alignment with your needs and wishes.
