birth plan, shmirth plan

I am a planner. A researcher. A question asker. If I have a big decision to make or a new experience on the horizon, I consider all angles, call upon the experts, read the books, and when I feel like I’m equipped with all the information, I make a plan.


Giving birth was no different. In fact, the births of my three children were probably the two most meticulously planned events of my life…perhaps more planned and researched than my wedding! I worked hard to create detailed birth plans that promised to give me the sort of experiences I wanted. But both times, I walked into the hospital with a very specific plan in mind…and promptly threw it into the trash, if not literally, than definitely figuratively.

  1. I feel the exact same way! I did a post just like this. Not ONE part of my birth plan happened. But the birth of my daughter was still the best moment of my life to date! :)

  4. Love this post! So true! I didn't have a plan... but even without one, my boys' birth was STILL further from anything I thought could or would happen. No one wants to give birth to their babies under general anesthesia. I still can't believe that's what happened. Luckily, everyone is happy and healthy, though, and in the end - that's all that matters!!

  6. This post is hitting home as I am sitting down to write a birth plan with my doula next week. It's a loose plan and life rarely goes according to plan…so I'll be flexible. But yep, type A here too.

  7. I just read your post. It brought tears to my eyes. You see my kids are adults now. 25 almost and 22. They both still live at home, both are still single, and as a sign of economy-unemployed-not for a lack of trying. One is over educated the other under experienced. I admit I have prayed for their future spouse-did no0t consider praying for their parents. \I have hoped that both my husband and \I can get along very well with them. \if my "sister in law" wanted to know now to braid. I feel it would be privilege to teach her.

  15. I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
