Example C Section Birth Plan

Julie Pereira- C section Birth Plan

 

Yellow highlighted items indicate my utmost preference in case things go south and not all requests can be honored

During Surgery

  • NO residents to administer spinal, I am ok with all other levels of resident participation
  • My sister and husband will be in the OR with me (if allowed,-birth photographer too)
  • I’d like an anti-nausea med
  • Please explain the surgery to me as it happens
  • Please reinforce my uterus and use dissolvable stitches for closing me up
  • If possible, please double suture on my uterus and suture on the outside instead of staples (Approved by Doctor due to previous reactions to staples)
  • Warm blanket during surgery if possible

 Baby

  • Clear surgical screen if the hospital carries them 
  • IF no clear surgical screen, please lower the screen just before delivery so I may see the birth of our baby.
  • If possible, please allow the cord to continue pulsing after the birth so Baby may start breathing on his/her own while still attached to the placenta.  If delayed cord clamping is possible, please remove placenta and place in bowl to “travel” with baby.  If not possible, please milk the cord.
  • Please allow for skin-to-skin contact immediately after delivery and evaluate Baby on my chest, (If this is not possible – then father would like skin-to-skin contact)
  • I would like assistance getting baby to latch in the OR
  • Keep cord long for daddy to cut
  • I would like to see and touch the placenta and cord
  • I would like to keep the placenta for encapsulation

 Recovery

  • Please order Toradol for pain management- administer in the OR and standing order
  • I would like to EAT immediately after surgery (sandwich or other filling substance)
  • I would like a breast pump in the room as soon as possible after surgery. 
  • We would like to keep Baby with us at all times. If Baby must go to the NICU due to medical reasons, my husband will follow.
  • We will have a photographer, Brea Bursch arriving to photograph all of us. 
  • Please do not bathe baby
  • I would like an abdominal binder as soon as possible please
  • I am willing to be up and walking as soon as possible

Instant Pot Egg Bites!

These are my FAVORITE Egg Bite  molds and they are quite useful and make many delicious things in my instant pot!!  I have utilized these to make egg bites, and mini brownies (I have serious lack of self control when it comes to sweets, so these molds are PERFECT!!!).  These molds fit in both the 6qt and the 8qt .  8qt instant pot 6qt instant pot Egg bites CAN be frozen and re-heated!   I usually make 4 molds worth of egg bites and freeze 2 of the 4.  If I remember (ha!!!) I try and pull them out the night before to defrost a bit in the fridge.  If I don't, 2-3 minutes on defrost is all I need to warm them up.  If they are completely defrosted, I usually do 45 seconds in the microwave. HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE DELICIOUS EGG BITES YOU ASK?? Ingredients:  12 eggs beaten 1 package bacon, cut and cooked on stove Green onion Shredded Cheese Directions: 1. Add 1-2 cups of water to your Instant pot 2. Fill mold...
