I'm having a baby, do I need a birth plan?

No, you don't need a birth plan. However, it can be helpful to have some basic ideas in mind about how you would like your labor and delivery to proceed. You may want to consider things such as what type of pain relief you'd like to use, whether or not you want to be present for the birth, who will be with you during labor, and if you'd like any other special requests.
