Creating A Birth Plan

"The reason for creating a birth plan is so that everyone understands your hopes and desires for labor and birth. It is a great place to begin discussions with your caregiver(s). This is not a contract, but a statement of your preferences.
Birth plans are best kept short and to the point -- lots of details may be lost on medical support staff. You may wish to create two plans: one for you and your support team (coach, doula, etc.) and another, more concise document (about a page long) for your caregiver and the hospital/birth center staff.
It is very important that you talk about the procedures and/or choices that appear on your plan with your caregiver(s). Not only do obstetric practices often vary by caregiver, hospital, state and country, there are often important factors involved. It is your responsibility to evaluate and understand each choice you make. " -pregnancyandbaby.com

>I think this website offers a great interactive tool for creating a birth plan. All you have to do is fill in the main information and then go through and click your preferences. It compiles all the information you provided and then all you have to do is "click" print. The site suggest that you keep your printed plan to one page long. I agree. Print all preferences and info pertaining to your care on a seperate one page for your care-provider and the birthing staff, then put all preferences/info pertaining to your infant on one page for his/her physician and nursery staff.
