I didn't!

The nurse that was assigned to me asked me what I had envisioned for myself and I just told her. But my "birth plan" was very generic and straight-forward.
-
Nope! They asked me a bunch of questions and put them in my chart!
-
I had one, but when DH pulled it out when they were having me sign consent forms for the epidural I needed like I needed my next breath, I waved it away. At that point there was already no way my labor and delivery was going to be anything close to my ideal, and I decided just to go with it and not worry about a plan.
-
i did. My midwife requested me to have one. And then I ended up being transferred to the hospital so I'm glad I had it on me.
-
They asked me for one and I didn't have one to give them. At our hospital class, they gave us one to fill out. I told the nurse, "I don't care as long as I can get an epidural, do delayed cord cutting and you let me hold my baby right after she's born."
-
I printed one out, but never gave it to the nurses. I had an awesome nurse who just asked me if I had any special requests. I told her, and she very graciously followed everything I mentioned to a T.
She even stopped my OB (scalpel in hand) from giving me an episiotomy, because she had remembered I told her I didn't want one. In hindsight, I really regret that because I ended up getting 30+ stitches from tearing so badly.
-
I wrote one out that DH and I discussed so that we were on the same page when confronted with decisions, but I didn't give it to anyone. My OB and I discussed my preferences, as well.
-
My OB requires that if we have one, to fill it out and submit it when we register for the hospital so they already have it in my file. I believe preregistration is at my 36w appointment. I don't know how much it'll get used...it's more like a reference.
Mine is pretty simple: epidural ...Give me baby ASAP. Thanks! -
I wrote things down to tell my midwife, she put them in her computer for delivery day.
-
I gave mine to my midwife at one of my appointments. She put it in my file, but I brought copies to the hospital anyways. My labor went so fast though that I never even pulled them out.
-
I am so mad...I forgot to ask on my hospital tour if people really do birth plans here. I think there is a lot of informality and nothing goes down on paper. I am the type to forget something though and will probably put it on a note in my phone!
-
Not with either one of my DD's, and I won't this time either. My MD is the one who delivers and he knows us really well. We have talked about it, and I feel like I am definately able to tell the nurses my preferences. So I have never felt it was necesary to have one, Maybe if my doctor's practice worked differently I would have a different opinion.
-
I printed mine but because I had an "emergency" induction and then c-section I never got to use it.
