I am 39w1d and had to go in to ob triage the other day for a non-stress test (all is well) - while there, the nurse asked me if I had a birth plan. I did not, I'm being seen by a hospital-based midwife team and this is my second baby so I didn't see the necessity.
Being asked about a birth plan prompted me to write up a quick list of what's important to me. Please share your thoughts - am I missing anything big? Should I bother sharing this list with the l & d team?

Birth Plan

Goal: Our goal is to have as natural a birth as possible. We do understand that circumstances may warrant certain medical interventions, but it is our wish that any such intervention be discussed with us beforehand so that we may make an informed decision.

While in labor I would like to:
* be able to move freely
* use intermittent monitoring
* be allowed to let things take a natural course, even if that means a very long labor
* use the ABC room if it is available

During delivery I would like to:
* assume whatever position is most comfortable for birthing and most efficient
* I prefer to tear than have an episiotomy

After delivery I would like to:
* have immediate and prolonged skin to skin contact with the baby, weighing, washing, dressing can all be done later
* please allow the umbilical cord to finish pulsating before clamping
* my husband would like to cut the cord
* we do not know the baby’s sex, please let us discover on our own

Baby’s care:
* If baby is a boy, we do NOT wish for him to be circumcised
* I will be breastfeeding, please do not supplement under any circumstances
