A Practical Guide to Creating Your Birth Plan

A birth plan is a document that outlines your preferences for labor and what happens immediately after your baby's birth. A birth plan is much more than a piece of paper you hand to your care provider. It is the process you go through to prepare for your desired birth experience. This process will lay the foundation for preparing you for scenarios where everything goes exactly as planned and for what should happen if it does not.
