At BritishCare, our dedicated team of midwives and doulas understand the importance of having birth wishes and preferences. While we can never guarantee a specific type of birth, we can absolutely ensure that you are educated, heard and you are able to communicate what is important to you during your labour and delivery. 
 
It is important to us that you are aware of what is usually routine practice and what is medically essential during birth and that you are informed of all available options. A birth plan can strengthen your own understanding of the way in which you would like your birth to play out. Educating you on all your options, to make the safest choice for you and your baby.
 
Studies have shown that those who prepare wishes for their birth experience more positive feelings about their birth on reflection. 
 
“A birth wish improves childbirth experiences, increases perceived support and control in labour, alleviating fear around birth, helps with any previous traumatic birth experiences and increases rates of vaginal birth.”
 
We will ensure that you are presented with a clear, BritishCare Birth Wish that has been carefully created by our team of medical professionals. We are passionate about women being at the very heart of their care during pregnancy, labour, delivery and the postpartum period. 
 
During the consultation a member of our team will listen carefully to your wishes and answer any questions you may have about medical procedures and processes during your labour and delivery.  
 
You will leave with a tailored printed Birth Wish, including your Plan A, Plan B and Plan C. A clear understanding of the options available during your labour and delivery. A sense of calm knowing there are certain elements of your birth that you can always have control over. Most importantly you will leave with a boosted confidence for a memorable birthing experience.
 
Did you know that a member of our midwife/doula team can accompany you during your birth to advocate for you and ensure all of your decisions are your own and that you have been informed of all of your options and choices?
