Hey KELL, that all sounds just FANTASTIC to me ... I love all your ideas
Especially the 1st touch for you all of baby
I never had a chance to do many things listed on my plan as my bub arrived 39mins after arriving at the hospital
The only requested idea listed I got ' to do ' was a drug-free birth (well, there was no time for drugs even if I wanted them, LOL) ... & all else went out the window for me.
DP was going to cut the cord but he decided not to (he was a bit faintish ... poor thing), so I did it.
I wanted a quiet birth BUT as my contractions were very fast in a short time I myself made plenty of noise
We couldn't spend much time alone with bub after the birth as the hospital was desperate for my labour room as it was their busiest day ever.
I didn't get my MW as it was her day off, & she couldn't make it in time for the birth as she was at the supermarket checkout when she got the phone call.
Oh, my list goes on ... yeh, the beautiful music, the bath, etc ... I all missed out on BUT hey I got the most beautiful & healthy baby ever ... my 1st Baby at 40
KELL, I'm so wishing you get it all happening ... I
love hearing stories of birth's when all went to plan ... there has to be more of them
... and I've got a strong feeling you are going to be one of them
As for anyone's negative thoughts ... tell them where to go !!!!!!!!
