Did you follow your birth plan or did you just go with the flow?

I just went with the flow

Went with the flow :-) I don't see point in birth plans, labour doesn't follow it

Never had a 'Plan' It was more of a Grin and bare and get through it.
I wanted a calm relaxed labour, Things turned very different very fast.

Never really had a plan as such. I think it only really said that I'd rather not have an epidural and I wanted skin to skin. As it happened I didn't get my way with either. He was back to back and they advised me to have an epidural because the pressure was making me want to push and I had a c section and was shaking for ages after so didn't hold him for an hour

didn't have a plan, there's no point here you don't really get that much of a choice (unless your very pushy and really know what your talking about) the doctor here is ultimately responsible for you and babies safety and his reputation/livelihood is at risk and so what they say goes.
