I'm not going to. But I didn't have one for any of my pregnancies. There's not much point in it this time around anyways. Plan is just to get baby out safely!

Nope, they do this every day, I don't- they have my trust to get him out as safely as possible. I always felt well informed during my last delivery, so I don't feel like it's necessary at my hospital or with my doctors.

Nope...didn't with 1 and won't with 2! Nothing could have prepared me for the birth I had!

My birth plan wasn't written either time but was communicated verbally when I got checked into my L&D room (skin to skin and breastfeed as soon as medically possible after delivery).
With DD, I got into my room right after the shift started and the nurse wrote my instructions on a board in my room.
With DS, I got into my room right before shift change and told the nurse who checked me in, she didn't write it on the board but I thought she had entered into the computer. I didn't mention it to the new nurse and in the end didn't get any skin to skin.

No. I asked my OB if I had to this time, or if it's more for FTMs and she slyly smiled and said I could if I want to, but it's not necessary.

Kind of...I didn't actually print it out but I did go over the major point with my doctor, doula and DH so that we would be on the same page for my VBAC.

I didn't for #1 and think it would have helped. But for #2 I didnt bc the hospital was pretty clear about what their standard practice was and I was happy with it. DH also had experience then so I also trusted he could advocate for me better than with #1. I guess we went over verbally what our preferences were.
