Mental preparation before creating a birth plan

~To the loving mother chosen by her baby

The first step towards an ideal birth based on maternal love

"Why did this guy choose me?"

Have you ever had such a mysterious thought?

According to a survey by Dr. Akira Ikegawa, who is famous for his research into prenatal memory,

Approximately 30% of children "chose their mothers to be born"

I have that memory.

"Watching from the sky,

I chose her because she seemed like a nice mom."

"I wanted to make this person happy."

Every time I hear the testimonies of these children,

As midwives, we are deeply moved.

In other words, the baby in the womb

"I trusted your love and chose you."

That's what it means.

Knowing this fact will help you to think about how you should approach creating your birth plan.

It will change naturally.

From "The birth I want"

"The best birth for this child"

The perspective deepens.

The first thing to consider when creating a birth plan is:

There are three fundamental questions:

1. What kind of environment do you want to create for your child when they see the world for the first time?

2. How do you want to express this child's first feelings of love?

3. What should be my top priorities for this child's safety and happiness?

By addressing these questions,

Your own "birth plan based on love"

The core becomes clear.

In fact, many mothers

If you reconsider your birth plan from this perspective,

"More than music and lighting,

The first priority is to create a safe birthing environment.

"Attending births,

Decide whether it will be a comfortable space for your baby."

This will allow you to make more fundamental decisions.

The baby who chose you

I trust your loving judgment.

We will create a birth plan that will live up to that trust.

Let's get started together.

Birth plan thinking method

~Affectionate communication that deepens the bond with your baby

Prenatal memory research proves the bond between mother and child

How much does a baby in the womb understand how its mother feels?

Have you ever had such a question?

The latest research into prenatal memory has revealed some surprising facts.

From about the seventh month of pregnancy,

They are sensitive to their mother's emotions and intentions

That's what he said.

"When a mother is thinking about her birth plan,

My stomach reacted by moving up and down."

"When I visited the maternity hospital,

The moment I decided this was the right hospital, the baby started moving more actively."

These experiences are no coincidence.

The baby prepares the mother for birth.

They are actively participating .

In light of this fact,

Creating a birth plan is not just a "preparatory step"

Important communication with your baby

It can be seen that...

So what I would like to propose is,

"How to create a birth plan together with your baby."

[Step 1: Ask your baby questions]

Before you consider each item in your birth plan,

First, try talking to your baby.

"How do you want to be born?"

What kind of people do you want to be surrounded by when you are born?

What kind of support do you want your mom to provide?

The fetal movements and the sudden intuition that arises at this time

Please take good care of it.

[Step 2: Organizing your love priorities]

If you are unsure about your birth plan,

Will this choice lead to a happy baby?

The judgment will be based on the following criteria.

For example, when considering painless childbirth:

❌ "Because I don't like pain"

⭕ "So I can relax and welcome my baby."

❌ "Because it's easy"

⭕ "Because I can relax and cherish the first meeting."

In this way, by always thinking from the baby's perspective,

You will be able to make decisions based on deeper love.

[Step 3: Prepare with gratitude]

During the process of creating a birth plan,

"Thank you for choosing me."

Please cherish this feeling of gratitude.

This feeling of gratitude,

I can overcome any difficult situation

It is a source of strong maternal love.

In fact, mothers who gave birth with a sense of gratitude,

Even if something unexpected happens,

"The child's safety comes first."

"Let's make the best decision for this child."

This is a calm and loving decision.

You and your baby are

There is already a deep connection.

Believing in that bond,

A birth plan filled with love

Let's create it together.

Which birthing hospital is best for this baby?

To the moms out there who have such loving worries.

Choosing a maternity hospital is exactly

"It is an important decision that is the first test of maternal love."

Luxury maternity hospitals that are popular on social media,

Recommendations from friends are also helpful.

The most important thing is,

That is the perspective.

Born from 30 years of midwifery experience

We would like to introduce you to the "Love-based Checklist for Choosing a Maternity Hospital."

[Top priority: Baby safety check]

✅ Availability of NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and access

"If something were to happen, would you be able to protect this child immediately?"

✅ Doctors and midwives available 24 hours a day

"No matter when you're born, will you be greeted by a professional?"

✅ Emergency Cesarean Section Response Time

"Is this speed enough to save this child's life in an emergency?"

✅ Status of transportation system

"Is cooperation with higher-level medical institutions sufficient?"

[Second priority: Supporting mother-child bonding]

✅Kangaroo care (early skin-to-skin contact)

"Can you express love as soon as a baby is born?"

✅Possibility and flexibility of mother and baby sharing a room

Can you cherish the time you spend with this child?

✅ Comprehensive breastfeeding support

"Is there loving support for breastfeeding?"

✅Rationality of visitation restrictions

"Can you deliver the love of your family to your baby?"

[Third Priority: Mom's Physical and Mental Care]

✅The warmth of the staff

"When you feel anxious, can you support me wholeheartedly?"

✅ Consideration for pain (painless childbirth, etc.)

"Can you afford to have a baby?"

✅ Thorough postpartum care

Can you alleviate my concerns about childcare?

✅Family support system

Can you share your joy with your partner and family?

[Questions that determine affection]

When you visit a maternity hospital or attend an information session, try asking the following questions:

The way the staff responds will reveal the values of the facility.

💕"Even in an emergency, can you still cherish the first meeting with my baby?"

💕"What do you do when your baby is crying?"

💕"How can you support me when I'm having trouble producing breast milk?"

💕 "How much consideration will you give to the whole family when we want to welcome a baby?"

To these questions,

"Answer that puts the feelings of the baby and mother first"

The maternity hospital that gives back

It's a place that will repay your love.

Finally, don't forget:

The importance of "intuition."

When I actually visited,

"I can give birth to this child here in peace."

Whether it gives you a warm feeling.

Your baby is probably feeling the same way.

Choosing a hospital filled with love

It's the first gift for your baby.

The best choice for this child

Please make your decision with confidence.
