Your title is pure gold. High click reward. Nice choice.

And I went through some similar things with the notion of a birth plan, with wanting a natural birth (twice), with never wanting to see a video of that ever (ever), with practitioners who did not understand my choices.

What I'm really focused on here, though, is that you made a plan for snacks. Snacks. Now THAT is a good plan. And I would've killed for food both times, and both times they said "no, you can't have food, you're birthing a child" while my wife stood behind them and stuffed a fistfull of french fries in her mouth. I mean, come on! It takes a lot of calories to go through that.
