Now that I am in my third trimester, I have been thinking a lot about the actual labor and delivery of this baby. I started writing my birth plan today and realized that I should probably write more than "Please don't hurt me" and "Make sure the baby has all of his body parts before handing him to me." (Kidding... sort of.)
So I'd like to get some opinions and advice from all of you that have given birth at least once in this lifetime.
What are some common (or not common) things you included, or wish you had included in your own birth plans? And why?
PS, I have switched to a midwife and will be delivering my baby, with a widwife, in a hospital.
PPS, I have also decided (I think) to delivery naturally, with the option of a walking epidural if I can't handle it.
I am open to anything, so don't be shy!
