I would like to receive trauma-informed care, which means having as much autonomy over the birth and delivery of my child as possible. I recognize that things might not go as planned, but listening with an open mind, answering my questions, and treating me with respect is paramount to prevent more trauma to me and my child.  \nI understand that doctors, nurses, and midwives are under a lot of pressure during childbirth, and I want us to work together for the best outcome.  \nI may ask more questions, need more time to make decisions, and be more anxious than other patients about invasive procedures.  \nIt would be helpful if you could:  \n☐ Ask permission before touching me ☐ Explain procedures and interventions slowly ☐ Respect my need for modesty/privacy  \n☐ Offer alternatives to routine invasive procedures to prevent re-traumatization ☐ Understand that I’m not trying to be difficult, but I am concerned about preserving my mental health  \n[BethTyson.com](BethTyson.com) Page 1  \nSupport for stress during birth  \nGiving birth can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, especially if you have a history of trauma. Labor and delivery may bring up uncomfortable sensations, memories, and powerful emotions, making it hard to cope.  \nWhile in the hospital, you will be required to make decisions, and this could feel overwhelming. If this happens, here are some questions you can ask:  \n1. What are the benefits?  \n2. What are the risks?  \n3. Are there any alternatives?  \n4. What happens if we do nothing?  \n5. Can I think about this?  \n6. Can I speak with the patient advocate to help me make an informed decision?(Hospitals are required to have a patient advocate)  \nWhat helps me cope with stress:  \nReceiving Information  \nThings can change quickly during childbirth. Your doctor’s number one priority will bethe safety of you and your child; however, the information they share with you can impact how you perceive your childbirth experience.  \nWhich of the following sentences sounds most like me?  \n☐ I like to know all the information I can to feel mentally prepared, even if this includes worst-case scenarios. Being surprised will feel re-traumatizing to me  \n☐ I like to know things as they happen so I don’t have too much time to overthink ☐ Too much information increases my anxiety, and I’d rather have my support team filter it to me  \n[BethTyson.com](BethTyson.com) Page 2  \n☐ If there is an emergency, please speak calmly and slowly so I can process what you are saying  \nThis is how I would like to communicate during my labor:  \nWhere to give birth  \nYou might have a choice about where to have your baby. Your doctor or midwife can tell you what services are available locally and advise you on any issues with your health or pregnancy that may affect your choice. According to statistics, having a midwife and using a birthing center for low-risk pregnancies results in better outcomes than going toa hospital.  \n☐ I would like to give birth at home  \n☐ I would like to give birth in a birthing center  \n☐ I would like to give birth in a maternity team unit in hospital ☐ I am not sure yet where I would like to give birth  \nBirth environment  \nI would prefer:☐ Low lighting  \n☐ Low noise  \n☐ Music of choice  \n☐ Aromatherapy/diffuser  \n☐ Wear my clothes ☐ Maintain modesty ☐ I am not sure yet  \n[BethTyson.com](BethTyson.com) Page 3  \nMy comments on where I would like to give birth and why:  \nCompanions  \nHaving a companion you can‘lean on’and who can support you during your labor can be helpful. It has been shown to reduce the need for pain relief.  \n☐ I would like my partner or companion(s) to be with me during labor  \n☐ I would not like my partner or companion(s) to be with me during labor ☐ I am not sure yet whether I would like my partner or companion(s) to be with me  \nMy b","cbCaieBZs9bXTzgJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieBZs9bXTzgJ","pdf",150325,"English","# Trauma-informed care request\n## Support for stress during birth\n## How I would like information and communication\n## Where to give birth\n## Birth environment preferences\n## Companions during labor and procedures","[{\"question\":\"What does trauma-informed care mean in this birth plan?\",\"answer\":\"It means receiving as much autonomy as possible over birth and delivery, being listened to with an open mind, answering questions, and being treated with respect to prevent further trauma.\"},{\"question\":\"What communication and consent requests are included?\",\"answer\":\"The plan requests that staff ask permission before touching, explain procedures slowly, respect modesty/privacy, and speak calmly and slowly in emergencies.\"},{\"question\":\"How can the plan help with decision-making in the hospital?\",\"answer\":\"It provides questions to ask about benefits, risks, alternatives, what happens if no action is taken, whether the patient can think, and speaking with a patient advocate to make informed decisions.\"}]","My Trauma-Informed Birth Plan | PDF"]
