  1. Birth Plan for a Low-Intervention, Natural Birth For Jennifer Miles I understand that emergencies happen and complications may occur. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I have created a birth plan, detailing my desires for the birth of my baby: Labor & Delivery My husband will be present at all times; Only essential lighting please—I prefer dimmed light; Only essential conversation related to the labor and delivery please; No students or residents please—only essential staff; Please tell us when we can start taking pictures/ video; I would like soft music—I will bring my own music and portable player; I plan to be mobile; I understand that intermittent monitoring of me and my baby is necessary; Please ask for my permission on any procedures that may come up during my labor; Please ask for my permission on any medical care that is to be administered to my baby—I would like to fully participate in every decision from the start; I do not need help to manage my pain—please do not offer any pain relief medication. If I need pain relief, I will ask for it; I would like to wear my own clothes. If I change my mind, I will ask for a gown; I do not want an IV; If a saline lock is necessary, I may agree to this; Please allow my husband to tell me what the baby’s gender is; Please delay cord clamping for at least 5 minutes; Please allow my husband to cut the cord; In case an induction or augmentation is medically necessary, I would like the following: Ripening – Foley catheter instead of cytotec (misoprostol); Pitocin – a very slowly increased dosage; AROM – I will only consent to this if an internal fetal monitor is necessary. Postpartum Please place my baby on my chest immediately after the birth. I would like chest to chest contact; Please delay bathing; Please delay vaccinations, including eye ointment and vitamin K; I will breastfeed exclusively. I would like to try to breastfeed shortly after the birth; Please no pacifiers, sugar water or formula; Please no separation from me unless medically necessary; If all is well with me and my baby, I’d like to be discharged as soon as possible.
