A birth plan is a tool to clarify your preferences while staying open to the journey ahead. Identify your priorities—whether it’s laboring at home, pain management, or immediate skin-to-skin contact—so that you and your care team know what matters most.
Flexibility is equally important, as birth can be unpredictable, with possible interventions or changes along the way.
Clear communication with your providers and birth partner ensures your plan guides decisions safely while keeping the focus on support for both you and your baby.
Every birth story is unique, and every safe, supported delivery is a success.
