Well its official, we have an apt. with MY OBGYN this Friday, that I had my babies with. I really don’t care who my OBGYN ends up being as long as we are in an agreement with my birth plan or at least have room for negotiation. I don’t want to be stuck at the hospital in labor and having to argue why I wont take potocin, or don’t want an IV but just the Hep Lock (how ever you spell that) instead. I was hoping to deliver at a hospital that had wireless monitoring that way I was free to get in and out of the water as I wish and Dr. Kells (my dr.) does not deliver at a hospital that is equipped with such things. So if its Dr. Kells then so be it but I really wouldn’t mind finding a different doctor just so I could have a different hospital to deliver at. Either way I think I’m just tired of looking.
This is my birth plan that I had with Ridge. I stuck to everything in my plan down to a tee. It was very gratifying. Anna, Rick and I have decided to remain with this plan but change it so it involves all 3 of us. Take a look and feel free to tell me what you think weather you agree or not I’m open to hearing everyone’s point of view!!
Patient of Dr. Kells
We look forward to sharing our upcoming birth with you. We have created the following birth plan to help you understand our preferences for our upcoming labor and delivery. We fully understand that in certain circumstances these guidelines may not be followed. If time permits, we would like discussion of alternatives and consequences, and some private time for discussion. My partner and I have researched and planned hard for this delivery by taking our 12 week Bradley Method birthing classes. These classes along with extensive research ourselves provided us with great knowledge and preparation so we hope that you will respect our wishes to do this natural.....
Sincerely, ....
Krystal Brauer and Nathan Woodworth....

Labor Hopes....
....
-We plan to have present at this birth our Doula, the Father, our two kids, mothers of both parties for support, and a select few who have visitation rights. ....
....
-The birth environment is very important to us. For that reason we ask that the lights be kept dim, noise be avoided and the door closed for privacy. We will bring our own music, and mom would like to wear her own clothes during the birth....
....
-We would like a family member of choice to be allowed to take photos or video tape labor and birth....
....
-Vaginal exams be kept to a minimum....
....
- We plan to handle pain with relaxation, massage and other natural techniques. Please do not offer chemical pain relief....
....
- If an event should arrive where medication would be needed, we would like discussion of alternatives and consequences, and some private time for discussion.....
....
- We understand that mom will not be able to walk the halls due to internal monitoring therefore we would like mom to be out of bed walking the room freely, and change positions as she wishes. ....
....
- If labor or delivery seems stalled, we would like the opportunity to try different positions (hands and knees, squatting, birth stools, etc.). ....
....
Delivery Hopes....
- Mom would like to push at her own pace (Mother-Directed Pushing). ....
- Mom prefers not to have an episiotomy unless determined to be medically necessary. She would first like to try perineal massage....
- If labor or delivery seems stalled, we would like the opportunity to try different positions (hands and knees, squatting, birth stools, etc.). ....
- We would like baby placed on mom's stomach/chest immediately after delivery....
After Delivery....
- We would like to have baby placed on the mother's chest with skin-to-skin contact immediately after the birth ....
- We wish to nurse baby immediately. We ask that any evaluations be done while mom is holding baby. We also ask that the cord not be cut until it stops pulsing....
- If the baby is a boy, then we would like a circumcision with father present.....
- If baby must be taken from mom to receive medical treatment, the father or some other person we designate will accompany baby at all times....
- Please delay the eye medication and vitamin K shot until we have spent some time with baby, preferably as long as possible before leaving the labor and delivery room.....
- Father would like to be present at the baby's first bath ....
- If baby is healthy we would like baby to room-in....
Breastfeeding....
- Unless medically necessary and mom and dad have been notified, we do not wish to have any bottles given to baby (including glucose water or plain water).....
- We do not want baby to be given a pacifier....
Thank you for taking the time to help us achieve a natural childbirth for our third baby =).....
