A family birth plan allows parents- to- be the opportunity to plan and anticipate their birth experience. Every effort will be made to

honor the requests of parents-to-be throughout the childbirth experience. If the unexpected occurs,

rest assured that the MUSC

Women and Infant Services Team will work to provide the

best care available to the new mother and infant. Should emergency

complications

arise, components of the birth plan may not be available. We will work to ensure

you are informed should this occur.

I would like to be free to walk around during early labor.

I wish to be able to move around and change position at will throughout

labor.

I will be bringing my own music to play during labor.

I would like the environment to be kept as quiet as possible.

I would like the lights in the room to be kept low during my labor.

I would prefer to keep the number of vaginal exams to a minimum.
