Birth plan! 🤯

When is your next appointment? Maybe you can bring it up. I have my 31 weeks one next week and will probably start the conversation then.

She has booked me a double appointment to go through it at my 34 week appt next week xx

My midwife told me you go through birth plan at 36 weeks- unless there are reasonings your baby may be early they leave it until around then xx

Mines going through mine at 34wks

Normally they’re between 34-36 weeks. Every trust is different. With my first they told me 36 weeks. This time was completely different as I seen a consultant around 17 weeks to discuss my options as I ended up with an emergency section last time x

i’m 31 weeks too they told me around 36 weeks they will do it x

In my first pregnancy my midwife never brought up the birth plan with me once and I was also never asked about it when I was in labour in hospital. From my first experience I've learnt that if there's things you want to talk about it's best to bring it up yourself and not wait for them to do so. So I always write down questions before midwife appointments now and make sure I don't leave until I've spoken to them about everything I want to.

At my 31 week appointment today, my MW told me to start thinking about birth plan and she said we’d talk about it in the next couple of appointments

With my first it was discussed at 36 weeks, and pretty sure that was with me asking. However before this I printed off a birth plan template from NHS website and started to have a think about what I wanted following learnings from antenatal classes/research. The midwife really is only there for any questions, it’s all your decision/preferences, there’s no right or wrong. Agree with @Jess don’t wait for things to be brought up, just ask even if the answer is it’ll be discussed at a later date. Things are always missed or will vary depending on midwife/trust. It’s annoying because there’s some things you just won’t be aware of that will still get missed, but at least take control of what you do know about.
