I also second the comment that babies should be vaccinated!

The above comment has good stuff. I'm going to ask them not to wash my babies, to be able to hold them skin to skin after delivery, do as much of the check-up in my room as possible, and for the babies to stay in my room throughout the hospital stay. I am having twins so their safety comes first. If they're too premature I'll want them first and foremost to be taken care of. If everything goes perfectly I want my babies only to be given my breast milk and not be offered formula at any point. I've been really anxious about my birth plan. Hopefully you can figure out a plan that helps you feel more in control. Good luck!

Just to say if you want a natural birth without any medications
If you want to be walking around
Or on yoga ball
If you want them to put the medication on your baby's eyes once he is born
If you want baby to be vaccinated right after (I encourage that your baby is vaccinated )
If you want to delay the cut of the cord for a few minutes
Good luck !
