Birth preferences or plans can issue no guarantees of what will happen during your labor but it can be a great way of organizing your thoughts about your upcoming birth and figuring out what’s important to you. It can be comforting to work with a birth professional to help you get all of the information you need to prepare for normal birth. It can be helpful for you to decide how you might want to plan for different situations. 

 

If you are planning a normal birth many routine practices are not based on best practice and can make an undisturbed birth difficult. I offer in-home private 2-3 hour birth plan consultations by request.

• What are the routine childbirth practices here in Oklahoma?
