Birth Plans

I've heard lots of expectant mom's debate about birth plans over the past few years:

• Vaginal delivery v. C-section
• Epidurals v. All Natural 
• OBGYNs v. Midwives
• Hospitals v. Birth Centers
• How long should you stay at home before going in? When should you call the doctor?
• Comfort choices during labor: walking, whirlpool tubs, music, warm showers, labor balls, etc,

All of those options seem trivial at this point. As long as a baby comes home healthy does it matter?

Never have I heard of a birth plan like the one set in front of us today. In my mind birth plans should never have words like this inside it like this:

• Fatal fetal anomaly
• High risk of stillbirth
• CPR 
• Ventilators
• Do Not Resuscitate 
• Hospice 
• Infant autopsy 
• Funeral home of choice

Seems like just about the worst "birth" plan ever. Desperately wishing our choices were different, but they're not.
