Birth Plan

Well here is the birth plan....

-During labor I would like friends and family to be in the room with James and I

-I would like to walk around as much as possible during labor and spend time in the bath tub

-Once it is time to start pushing, James will be the only one in the room. Everyone else can wait outside

-I plan to drink lots of water and juice during labor and would like to avoid getting an IV unless needed

-My goal is to avoid getting an epideral, but will be willing to try other forms of pain relief if I feel I need it

-I would prefer not to have an episiotomy unless needed

-I would like Cadence to be placed on my chest as soon as she is born

-James would like to cut the umbilical cord

-I would like to breastfeed Cadence as soon as possible after she is born


*If we need a C-Section:

-I would like to be awake during the birth

-I would like James to be in the room with me

-All other plans for the labor would stay the same
