My parents' birth plan went out the window when my mother had an emergency C-section 4 weeks early because I was breech and there were unexpected complications. Plus, mom had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia that was used. It's not easy to plan for things that could go wrong - which is why I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that my partner or my mother is there to advocate for me if I can't for whatever reason.
