Free childbirth plan

One thing I regret the most is not having researched about birth options during pregnancy. I ingenuously thought the hospital would be respectful with me and my son, and assumed the staff would be breastfeeding supportive. Don´t ask me from where I got this impression- I don´t know!

Now I´m all for home childbirth, but also understand that for many women this is just not an option. Also, many women and their partners would just feel a hospital birth is the best option for their family situations. I believe it´s time to stop blaming hospital childbirth from one side, and home birth from the other side. Women have the right to choose where and with whom they want to give birth. The efforts should be focused in providing information and support so they can make their best choice and be assured mom, baby and family will be respected.

Writing a birth plan is probably the first step towards making your voice be heard regarding your own birth experience. I especially recommend taking the time to write a bith plan for those planning to have a hospital birth, but just any pregnant mom would benefit from it as it also urge you to research more about common and alternative practices during labor, birth and after birth.

I´ve just tried this free birth plan option and was so satisfied. It offers natural options and allows you to choose among many details and consider them beforehand. I´m not pregnant so I might not have tried this tool with all my senses, but thought it would´ve helped me 5 years ago when I was just learning about birth.

After filling the form, the birth plan is sent to your inbox so you can print it out. It´s also possible to modify it, so you´re not restricted to the options provided.
