Re: [ozmidwifery] Your thoughts on Birth Plans?

I always emphasise to women that one of the reasons they need a birth plan to birth in an institution is that the careprovider has one and their birth will run to it if they don't provide an alternative. Let's not kid ourselves that birth plans are respected though when even basic stuff
