Today’s episode I’m introducing you to one of my favourite aspects of birth preparation - and what I also think is the most important thing to make sure you do - and that’s get yourself some birth plans sorted out! Yes plural!!! There is definitely an element of being able to ‘go with the flow’ when it comes to your experience of birth, but the process of writing and researching your birth plans is not something you want to overlook. It’s a really powerful way to become familiar with birth, how it works and what your options are. I run a birth planning workshops where I take a small group pregnant families through the ins and outs of writing their birth plans, and part of the reason I thought I’d introduce birth plans today is because I’m running one of these workshops on the evening of this coming Thursday, the 29th of September, and then again on the following Thursday, October 6th!
