Pregnancy - Recognizing and Defining the Situation

You will be in the situation of giving birth in the future.
Identify alternatives
What type of birth suits you? Hospital classes cater to a broad range of needs so are quite general. You can expect to learn about different labour positions, pain relief, caesarean delivery procedure, changing and wrapping your baby and some breastfeeding information. A natural birth centre is particularly interested in helping clients learn how to labour without artificial pain relief, techniques which involve working your body throughout the birthing process. You may include hypnobirthing classes in your preparation, where you learn about controlled breathing, relaxation and the power of positive visualisation. Home births are also available through private midwives.

Evaluating alternatives
You may instinctively already feel that you want particular things to be part of your birth process as well as immediately feel "that's not for me". Only you can go through this evaluation and as you learn new things about the situation you can include or dismiss them as part of your birth plan.

Selecting the best alternative
As you narrow down all the different options you have available to you, your birth plan is being formed. As with any plan, it may not go exactly the way you expected, that is why this step is not "follow the plan" - at the actual moment there may be a best alternative that was not on your original plan.

Implement the chosen alternative
Taking action is the implementation step. During the birthing process this may involve following the instructions of your midwife/doctor to push or not push as needed and putting aside any other thoughts - focus in the present and what needs to be done during that moment. Trust in those around you to support your action.

Following up and evaluating the results
You should also feel confident in your own ability to adapt and adjust to alternatives because you have done your homework and explored the different alternatives. This step could also be the final step where you are feeling the euphoria of the experience as you gaze down on your baby and congratulate yourself for such as wonderful job.
