Your Birth Plan is an intervention: it’s a birth book that equally honors all paths and all pregnant people, guiding and empowering you to make informed decisions, without judgment or prescription, for your own positive birth experience. Long on information, short on opinions, Your Birth Plan is a how-to guide filled with practical descriptions, insights, stories and tips to make it easier for you to pick where, with whom, and in what way you would like to give birth. Your Birth Plan is comprehensive and free from judgment and prescriptions. It offers unbiased information about all birthing options, including birthing in a hospital, at home, or in a birthing center; having an epidural or an unmedicated birth; induction of labor; vaginal or Cesarean birth; and more. This is a new, inspiring, inclusive, and much-needed guide to help you plan for a birth where you are empowered to make your own choices and to have your needs met, whatever they are.

How to Create a Birth Plan by Genevieve Taylor Pdf

It is not uncommon for a woman to feel anxious about childbirth, especially if it is her first experience. A great way to relieve some of this anxiety is to be fully prepared for the big day, when you finally meet the little person you have been lovingly growing inside of you. Beyond the obvious preparations - such as purchasing diapers and getting the baby's crib set up - there is nothing that can prepare you more comprehensively than creating a Birth Plan. While the task is a collaborative one involving you, your spouse, and your doctor; it is most beneficial in ensuring that all participants at the time of the birth are in agreement of and aware of your preferences, requirements, and expectations. In this book you will find an easy to follow guide for creating a complete birth plan, along with an explanation of the options available to you and different factors for you to consider. A valuable sample birth plan is also included to help guide you through this important process.
