IV. Communication and Consent

Clear and open communication is essential to us throughout this process. We expect to be fully informed about each step, including [RISKS, BENEFITS, AND ALTERNATIVES], and to have the opportunity to [ASK QUESTIONS AND EXPRESS CONCERNS FREELY]. We also insist on giving explicit consent before any procedures or interventions.

V. Delivery Preferences

In terms of delivery preferences, we would appreciate being able to utilize positions such as [PREFERRED POSITIONS], which we believe will offer us the most comfort and effectiveness during the pushing and delivery stages. Additionally, we have a strong preference to avoid [EPISIOTOMY] and instead opt for natural tearing if necessary. Throughout the delivery process, we would be grateful for support measures such as [SUPPORT MEASURES] to help manage discomfort and facilitate the progression of labor.

After the birth of our baby, our immediate postpartum preferences include having immediate [SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT] to promote bonding and initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible.

Our intention is to breastfeed our baby as soon as possible after birth to establish breastfeeding and nurture that initial connection.
