From the article: Birth Plan
A Birth plan is a communications tool to use with your birth team. You can use a birth plan to tell everyone what your preferences are for your birth. What did you include on your birth plan? Did you talk about pain medication? Water birth? People in the room? C-section? Baby care? How was it received? Share Your Birth Plan

Use it with your doctor!

It was great for us to use to talk to our doctor. We were so worried but he was glad to see we'd given it some thought. He showed us how some things would work better slightly differently done and how others were great. He was open and honest - it went so much better than I thought.
