Prepare a Birth Plan

When I was at my doctors appointment my mid-wife had spoken to me about birth plans. She had asked me all these questions about "Who I wanted in the room during my delivery of the baby?" and "Should my child be circumcised?". There were so many different questions being asked and I thought to my self they were all important. So when I got home it really warmed me about what I wanted to do, it took me a while to figure things out whether "I wanted to breast feed or bottle feed my son or not". Before she asked me these questions I already knew what to say to her, Yes, I'm going to breast feed and no, I wasn't going to circumcise my baby after he's born. My mid-wife always spoke to me about all the important things that a baby needed after birth. So I listened to all her comments and replied back with great thoughts. It's hard to understand and get it in my mind that the baby is near I'm really stressed out and still trying to figure things out. I know what has to be done because with my mid-wife on the side she keeps me company and advises me about a lot of things. So I'm exited about that. She gives me great options and choices of what to do and it just makes me realize that I'm never alone and theirs always someone wanting to help me through my toughest times.
