Birth Plan

[Guest guest]

Hi--

I would like to make a comment on having a birthing plan and not being able

to trust you OB. When I got pregnant I had a very hard time even finding

ab OB/GYN. I could not find an OB/GYN in my insurance plan was taking my

insurance anymore or they were not accepting any new patients. And Mdwives

were not even covered in my plan unfortunately . This is in NYC so I can

imagine if you live in a more rural environment that there may not be as

many options available.

When I finally found a Dr I was already a couple of months pregnant. I was

hoping that I could establish a good relatinship, so I would feel more

relaxed during my labor. But i felt like I should go to the hospital at

the last possible second so I would not be tempted by having in

unneccessary medical intervention. Unfortunately I did not wait long

enough and I was given demoral at 10 cm when I was completely on schedule

for a normal delivery. I felt like I was kind of talked into it. When I

really did nto want it. I now think that this could have caused some kind

of birth trauma to my son and the DPaT vaccine out him over the edge.

at birth and just don't go back for well baby visits. I fear

submitting my birth plan will cause my doc to react in a negative way,

and I feel that would make my childbirth experience less than

comfortable. I am unsure if I should tell him the next visit to see

his reaction so I can decide if I should stick with him or not. I am

17 weeks now though and don't really want to try to change docs. My

husband thinks we should tell him asap that we will not be vaccinating

at all. I just don't know what to do. It's terrible that I should be

dealing with so much stress over a decision that is completely up to

me and that I should never have to deal with harassment about. I don't

think a home birth is right for me. So that's pretty much out. I'm so
