Ep 2: The #1 Purpose of a Birth Plan

 

 People ask me, "Stephanie, what is the purpose of a birth plan?"

Simply put - the purpose of a birth plan is to support you during labor, birth and postpartum so that you are more likely to have a positive birth experience of your choosing.

Now, there are a lot of benefits that stem from having a birth plan and being prepared (which we'll get into in this episode)

But when we get down to business, having a birth plan allows you the privilege to have "birth happen through you and not to you."

In this Oh Baybee! Episode you'll learn:

  • How a birth plan will improve the communication with your health provider and healthcare staff
  • Why planning will increase your chance of having a positive birth experience
  • How your plan will help you advocate for yourself and your baby

Having an effective birth plan may seem insignificant but trust me - (when done well) you'll have a positive birth memory that will last a lifetime.

Happy Birthing!
