BUT I am hypoglycemic, which means that I really have to eat every couple of hours or my blood sugar drops so low I pass out/get really really sick. So I'd like the option to have some crackers or something during labor just in case. hahah<br />The birth plan is basically my ideal on how the birth will go. My doula said it would be a good idea to write because there are a few things I really will not budge on (like having the nurses/doctor explain to me or John what they're doing to the baby before they do it, and make sure that's something we want.)<br />I guess we'll see how it goes!Mandy Vallejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723476513601266027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382608118393684454.post-61261959421506979742010-11-11T16:36:07.713-07:002010-11-11T16:36:07.713-07:00Sounds really good! Honestly though, I think your ...Sounds really good! Honestly though, I think your last concern will be eating. I give props to anyone who can eat through contractions. I know I didn't eat for a whole 2 1/2 days. The contractions were just too bad and the only thing I ate were graham crackers about 3 hours after I had her and then I had an actual meal the next morning. I wasn't even thinking about food lol.<br /><br />Also I didn't have a birth plan and I didn't find it necessary to make one simply because anything could have happened (such as me having to get a c-section), but those who do make them and can have a successful one, kudos to them lol.<br /><br /><a href="http://littlesugarmonster.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Little Sugar Monster</a>♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382608118393684454.post-89418679578815315222010-11-11T15:34:01.470-07:002010-11-11T15:34:01.470-07:00@Cindia - Check out these links.

I've heard only good things about him.<br /><br />@Chis - It took me like, 3 weeks to write this. I kept changing things, but I'm finally happy with how it turned out. There are some people that I'm not sure will want to follow our wishes to stay away for a little while after she's born - that's why we threw in the instructions to keep them out!!Mandy Vallejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723476513601266027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382608118393684454.post-53821343657905070232010-11-10T20:18:17.385-07:002010-11-10T20:18:17.385-07:00This sounds very professional and fantastic.

Not all family will listen when you go into labor, so having preset terms and conditions is very smart.
