Top tips for a stress-free labour
Birth plans are a brilliant way of setting down what’s important to you and your partner, making sure those that look after you understand your needs and concerns. A good birth plan will help us tailor our care to you as an individual.Try to keep an open mind and think of alternatives to your original plan should the need arise, so for example you may want to labour without any pain relief but, if you do need some, make sure you've thought about what you would like.
Most hospitals will want you and your birth partner to take regular lateral flow tests in the lead-up to your due date but do check what proof of testing staff need to see. Room sprays or diffusers, pillows, blankets, eye masks and battery-operated fairy or tea lights can all help to make even a hospital room feel cosier and more like home. And the more happy and at home you feel, the more oxytocin you will you produce, which will help your labour.
Generally though, unless it’s an emergency, there should always be time for you and your partner to take a moment to discuss the new plan being proposed or what your next steps might be. You can buy disposable briefs, some even come with built-in pads but honestly, you can’t go wrong with some big cotton pants that are a couple of sizes too big, in dark colours. They’re probably better for the environment, too.
