Creating A Birth Plan


When it comes to birth, there is no one size fits all experience. Every birth is unique and special, and as such, every birth plan should be too. 


Creating a birth plan allows you to prepare ahead of time for hard decisions that may need to be made in the moment, and gives you peace of mind knowing that everyone on your birth team knows what you want every step of the way.

While the thought of creating your birth plan may seem overwhelming, it doesn't have to be. Your birth is your experience and should be everything you dream it to be.

Why It's Important to Create Your Birth Plan

When preparing for childbirth, one of the most empowering steps you can take is to think through the many aspects that could arise during labor and delivery. While it’s impossible to predict every moment, considering potential scenarios and deciding in advance how you’d like to handle them can make a world of difference. Birth is a unique and deeply personal experience and taking the time to plan allows you to approach it with confidence and peace of mind.

Creating a birth plan is about so much more than simply writing down your preferences—it’s about intentionally preparing for one of the most important moments of your life. From deciding where you’d like to give birth and who will be in the room with you, to how you’d like to manage pain or handle unexpected interventions, a birth plan gives you the space to think deeply about what matters most to you. This process not only clarifies your desires but also ensures that your birth team knows exactly how to support you.

Labor and delivery can be unpredictable, and in the moment, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the intensity of it all. Having a clear plan in place allows you to focus on what’s most important: bringing your baby into the world. When your preferences are communicated and understood by your team, it relieves the pressure of making big decisions on the spot. Instead of being caught off guard, you’ll feel prepared, even if unexpected circumstances arise.

Thinking through potential aspects of the birthing process—both the ideal scenarios and the “what-ifs”—also reduces stress and anxiety. It’s natural to feel a little nervous about childbirth, but knowing that you’ve thought things through and communicated your wishes can bring a deep sense of calm. Whether it’s deciding how you feel about certain medical interventions, planning for immediate skin-to-skin contact, or specifying your preferences for the atmosphere in the room, every choice you make ahead of time helps you feel more in control.

Sharing your birth plan with your partner, midwife, doula, or doctor also fosters teamwork and trust. Everyone on your birth team will have a clear understanding of your wishes and be better equipped to advocate for you throughout the process. This shared understanding creates a more cohesive experience, ensuring that you feel supported, respected, and heard at every stage of labor and delivery.

While creating a birth plan may seem overwhelming at first, it doesn’t have to be. Start by reflecting on your values, priorities, and what an ideal birth experience looks like for you. Then, think about the practical aspects and possible scenarios that could arise. Tools like The Empowered Birth Checklist can guide you through this process, breaking it into manageable steps.

It’s important to remember that while having a plan is invaluable, flexibility is equally important. Birth doesn’t always go exactly as planned, but by considering your options ahead of time, you’ll be better prepared to handle changes with grace and confidence.

Ultimately, your birth plan is more than a piece of paper—it’s a reflection of your voice, your choices, and your vision for this transformative experience. Having your plan laid out not only empowers you but also creates a foundation of calm and clarity for the journey ahead. Taking the time to prepare now is an investment in a positive and empowering birth experience.

Start thinking through your plan today, and if you haven’t already, grab a resource like the Empowered Birth Checklist to help you get started. Peace of mind during childbirth is priceless, and by planning ahead, you’re giving yourself the gift of confidence and calm as you welcome your baby into the world.
