I prepared my bith plan last Octobor..
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Ideals for birth plan Name : Kanako Iwamura
１.Where to give a birth
I would like to give birth in a matenity team in Hospital
2.Companions
I would like my husband to be with me during labour.
I would like my husband to be with me if I have a forceps or vacuum delivery
or a caesarean section.
He is my interpreter.
But he is also Japanese so we will prepare a dictionary for special medical words.
3.Monitoring during labour
I would like my baby's heart to be monitored during labour.
4.Birthing equipment
I would like to listen to music and use an aroma oil.
I am not sure yet whether I would like to use equipment
such as mats or beanbags during labour.
5.Special facilities
I would like to use a birthing pool , LDRP room, if available.
6.Pain relief options
I would like to try being in water during labour and birth.
and to try gas and air(entonox) when I want.
I would like to change the pain relief from in water to an epidural if I want.
I feel nausea when I feel strong pain,
so if it is hard to give birth in water for me, I will change to an epidural.
※Please let me know the progress status.
7.Delivering the placenta after the birth (syntometrine)
I would like to get the injection.
8.Skin-to-skin contact with my baby
I would like my baby cleaned first before being given to me.
(when I cannot use a birthing pool)
9.Who to cut the cord?
I would like the midwife to cut the cord.
10.Feeding
I would like to breastfeed my baby.
11.Vitamin K for my baby
I have given my midwife my consent to give my baby vitamin K.
