Ep #006: The Memo on: Birth Plans
The Midwife Memos with Lauretta Hamilton - Podcast
In this episode, I’m diving deep into something that often stirs up mixed opinions: birth plans. You’ve probably heard the phrase “you can’t plan birth,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare — and that’s exactly what this episode is about.
We explore;
What a birth plan actually is & why it can be a powerful tool
What the research says about their impact
Why creating one with your care provider is key
What to include
How to make it nice and clear
+ Ask a Midwife Bite sized episode where I answer'
“What if I just want to wing it?”
& “What if my care provider doesn’t believe in birth plans?”
