Episode 32 - Creating a Birth Plan
About the episode:
Happy 2022 friends! This episode is a throwback to one of our favorite (and top downloaded) episodes of 2021…all about birth plans!
Creating a birth plan can be an overwhelming and intimidating process, but as Doula Rachael and Dr. Shannon discuss today, the process can be so important and beneficial. In this episode we discuss our own personal birth plans (which happen to be very different from each other’s!) We share how we started the birth planning process and what we learned by creating those plans. We work to pull back the veil of misconceptions surrounding birth plans. Birth can be unpredictable but that doesn’t mean birth plans are pointless. The process of creating a birth plan is greater than the plan itself.
Here you will learn how to “be the bamboo” when creating your birth plan and while navigating your non-linear path to giving birth. You will also learn what to consider when creating your birth plan (IV fluids, cervical exams, monitoring, pain medications, comfort tools, delivery room environment, pushing, umbilical cord, placenta delivery, newborn care, and so much more!).
Birth does not have to go a certain way to be empowering. Your mental, emotional and educational preparation alongside respectful and supportive care will help you have the empowering birth experience you want and deserve.
This is a great combo of our personal and professional experiences.
