Re: Birth Plan..I think its pretty reasonable and fair

For what it's worth, that plan is really more for your husband and doula. Your doctor and nurses won't even read it. 

I wasn't in so much pain that I couldn't advocate for myself, ( in fact, even when I was pushing the doctor wanted me on my back and I told him NO, and birthed on my side. He made some smart ass comment about how someone needed to support my top leg then ( which my doula did, I believe)). The nurses told me later they've never seen anyone stand up to him like that hah.

I think the wording in your plan comes off as really defensive and if you reworded it you might have a better response to it. I think all of the things you are perferring are resonable and in a lot of cases standard.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read it. I simply stated what we did and did not want in our birthplan, but did it very nicely so as not to rub the nurses the wrong way right off the bat. You want them to be on your side.
