birth plan worksheet

birth plan

A written birth plan also helps refresh your practitioner's memory when you're in labor. And it informs new members of your medical team — such as your labor-and-delivery nurse — about your preferences when you're in active labor (and probably not in the mood for drawn-out conversation).

Our worksheet provides a checklist of options to consider. Not all of these will be available in every setting or make sense for your situation, particularly if your pregnancy is high-risk. That's why it's important to take the worksheet with you to a prenatal appointment and go over it with your doctor or midwife.

Read and print out our birth plan worksheet.

After you've filled out the worksheet, give one copy to your practitioner, have one put in your file at the hospital or birth center, and put one in the bag you're packing for the day you give birth.
