Write down the communication style, support person and questions that matter to you. Learn about the hospital setting and local options. Ask your care team how your preferences can be recorded.
Include flexibility in the plan
Discuss how preferences will be considered if care needs change. This article does not recommend a birth method or intervention. Ask your care team about benefits, risks and options for your circumstances, and ask again if anything is unclear.

Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
