How important is a birth plan?

[See more Bumps, Babies and Beyond: The three stages of labour]

These days pregnant women are often expected to make a birth plan; but when we’re expecting can it all really go to plan?

Mum’s Club members Alice & Nathalie describe their contrasting experiences and show us whether you have a strict idea of what you want or take a more relaxed approach, you can still be caught off guard when the big day comes.

They are joined by Consultant Midwife and Mother Belinda Green to discuss the merit of birth plans. Are they an essential part of the pregnancy process or is labour ultimately too unpredictable to organise?

Bumps, Babies & Beyond with Myleene Klass is a 48-part video series exclusive to Yahoo! Lifestyle.
