Birth plan and wishes

臨月に入ったときに、ドクターから出産に関する
希望があれば申し出るようにと言われ、
夫と相談のうえ箇条書きにして提出しました。

緊急帝王切開となったため、希望通りにならなかった
ものもありますが、ドクターもナースも出来る限り
私の希望に沿って対応してくれました。


以下が私のバースプランと希望になります。

これから海外で出産される方は特に
バースプランを提出する機会があると思うので
どなたかの参考になればうれしいです。


I would like the minimum amount of people present
during labour (No students or residents if possible).


I would like to have my labour photographed or filmed.


I would like to move around freely during labour.


I would like to use labour props, such as
a birthing ball, a squatting bar etc.

as my labour progresses.
Be ready with epidural.


I would like to be coached on when to push
and for how long.


I would like to choose the position I deliver in.

to be present and to have contact with baby
if I can't (skin to skin).


I would like to hold my baby skin to skin
immediately after delivery.


I would like to delay clamping and cutting the
umbilical cord.


I would like my husband to cut the umbilical
cord.

I would like all procedures done and all
medications given to my baby to be
explained to me beforehand.


I would like my baby evaluated and bathed
in my presence.
