I am a new mom and need help navigating important birth decisions and putting together a birth plan that works best for me- free of doctor biase. I just want the most natural required decisions considering my body’s condition to not put my baby in harms way. 3. My birth plan is something I am researching now but I want delayed cord cutting for sure; I don’t want pitocin if not needed.

I don’t want to be induced early- I might not want the HPB Vaccine for baby or Vitamin K (still researching) and want to do skin to skin with dad and I. We want to be present in babies first bath and want baby in room at all times if possible. No students performing high risk procedures on me - ok to watch if necessary. Budget: willing to discuss it’s my first time and don’t know how much it costs.
