What if your birth does not go according to your birth plan?
If the midwife or doctor feels that the birth is not going according to your birth plan, there is a useful acronym for you or your partner to use to assess your options. Remember the doctors and midwives are there to support you and will support your wishes as long as they are not detrimental to the health of you or your baby. So when they offer you any intervention in childbirth, first consider BRAIN, which is where:
B stands for BenefitsR stands for RisksA stands for AlternativesI stands for your InstinctsN is for what happens if you do Nothing for a bit
This should help you make an informed decision on whether you would like to try the doctors suggestion, or wait to see how the birth progresses before making a decision.
