Birth plans, c-section, premature birth etc.
I'm looking at writing a birth plan and getting it on file. The thing is
that this delivery WILL be a c-section, since my last delivery ended up having to be a classical C, so I can't VBAC, and most of the examples I've found don't deal with that. I would like to breastfeed/pump if at all possible, but unless someone else is staying with me, I don't know about having the baby room in for the first 24 hours or so because of recovery pain (I've had abdominal surgery twice now-I have a good idea of how much pain I'll be in right afterwards). In addition, I have a 50% probability that this will end up being another premature delivery. Therefore, I assume the birth plan will have to be changed in that instance, and I don't know what is reasonable. If it's another premature birth, I will probably be on pretty heavy medication (since that would imply a recurrance of the HELLP), and I don't know if breastfeeding would be reasonable or not. Does anyone know of any examples online or have suggestions for birth plans when you already know it isn't going to be a "perfect" delivery? There's so much that I really can't control that I want to make sure that in areas where I can make a choice, I get to do so. |
