醫院提供的課程會解釋各種方式的優缺點 每個媽媽要依據自己的個性及喜好來選擇
不過痛昏頭時大概也不記得了 所以最好生產前仔細比較以及跟自己的醫生溝通 並將寫好的選擇請醫生先簽名 到時候到醫院的時候 把一份影本交給護士 讓他們知道你的選擇 但是還是要保持隨時變動的彈性以適應當時的狀況
同樣的 我們也沒有填好 我們真是慢動作的二人組 看看今晚能不能讓老公陪我寫好 最近我一跟他討論寶寶的事情 他就想睡覺啦 不能再當駝鳥了 要趕快面對現實 好好準備
Create your own birth plan
Writing a birth plan gives you an opportunity to think about and discuss with your partner and your healthcare practitioner how -- ideally -- you'd like your baby's birth to be handled. Even though there's no way you can control every aspect of labor and delivery, a printed document gives you a place to make your wishes clear. Just remember that you'll need to stay flexible in case something comes up that requires your birth team to depart from your plan.
A written birth plan will also help refresh your practitioner's memory when you're in labor. And it will bring new members of your medical team -- such as your practice's on-call practitioner and your labor-and-delivery nurse -- up to speed about your preferences when you're in active labor (and probably not in the mood for drawn-out conversation).
Our worksheet, below, will guide you through the process of creating a birth plan. Print it out and check any options that you know you want or that you'd like to ask your caregiver about. Remember that not all of the options listed will be available in every setting or make sense for your situation, particularly if your pregnancy is high-risk. That's why it's important to take the worksheet with you to a prenatal appointment and go over it with your doctor or midwife. This will give you both a chance to figure out what's possible and what's not, and to find some common ground. And if you can't reach a consensus, you'll still have time to explore other options.
After you've gone over your options with your caregiver and made some decisions, print out a clean worksheet and revise your plan if you need to. When you have your final plan, give one to your practitioner, have one put in your file at the hospital or birth center, and put one in the bag you're packing for the day you give birth.
