Question 2
A pregnant couple has formulated a birth plan and is reviewing it with the nurse at an expectant parent's class. Which aspect of their birth plan would be considered unrealistic and require further discussion with the nurse?
a. My husband and I have agreed that my sister will be my coach since he becomes
anxious with regard to medical procedures and blood. He will be nearby and
check on me every so often to make sure everything is OK.
b. We plan to use the techniques taught in the Lamaze classes to reduce the pain
experienced during labor.
c. We want the labor and birth to take place in a birthing room. My husband will
come in the minute the baby is born.
d. We do not want the fetal monitor used during labor, since it will interfere with
movement and doing effleurage.
