Tomorrow I'm going for my eighteen weeks scan and if all goes to plan, I'll be meeting with my midwife a few days later. I've completed my birth plan for the most part and I've posted it on the site.
I'm opting for a silent water birth if possible. My birth plan explains this, although I'm still working on one part of the plan - hand gestures. Since I won't be talking and hopefully no one else will, these will be an important part of the birth. I'll be thinking more in the next few days about the easiest and simplest gestures that I can use to communicate during the birth.
