Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

I didn't have a plan for either of my kids. The only things we really discussed with anyone were that I was not to have epi or spinal under any circumstances and that I wanted to nurse. Why stress over making a plan when you have to go with the flow anyway?
A thought on the episiotomy: If you have fabric with a cut in it, say a pair of jeans, and pressure is applied in that location it is going to tear worse, and farther than uncut fabric would have. It is very similar with our bodies. Some of the worst tears are a result of episiotomies. I had an episiotomy with my 1st birth, and opted against it for my subsequent (5) children, because the healing process (without further tearing) was pretty rough for me. I actually gave birth to a 12 lb baby (3rd birth) with no need for stitches, so our bodies can stretch an amazing amount! Just a thought to ponder, but don't feel judged if you prefer one!!
