You have your birth plan, what about your baby care plan? Understanding what procedures are standard at the hospital or with the home birth midwife you us is important. There is no reason to be caught off guard. In class we listed all of the common interventions. Most people have a second section to their birth plan dedicated to baby. In addition to reviewing the baby care plan with your pediatrician (the one who will be at the hospital), you will also want to review with the nursery staff. Don't be afraid to make an apt or just stop by to visit with the nursery nurse manager about your requests well in advance of birth day.
