The birth plan
Posted on 9:51am Friday 26th September 2008
In just over a week I am meant to have completed my birth plan. It’s not as if I have left it to the last minute like some piece of homework that you just hope might go away if you ignore it long enough. Until now I have been educationally unequipped to do it.
