My Birth Wellbeing & Care Plan

My Birth Wellbeing & Care Plan

A birth plan that plans for you, not just your birth.

There are lots of birth plans that help you record what you would like during labour and birth.

The Birth Wellbeing & Care Plan goes a step further.

Alongside your birth preferences, it helps you communicate how you would like to be cared for — what helps you feel safe and supported, how you prefer information to be communicated, what can help when you feel overwhelmed, and what you would particularly like your care team to understand about you.

Because while we can’t plan exactly how birth will unfold, we can help the people caring for us understand what matters to us.

What’s inside

The plan gives you space to capture:

• What you’d like your care team to understand about you
• How best to communicate with and support you
• Your birth preferences, including pain relief
• What you’d like your birth environment to feel like
• How your birth partner or support person can help
• Your preferences around skin-to-skin and cord clamping
• What matters to you if your birth needs to change
• What would help you if your baby needs additional care or you need to be separated
• The one thing you most want your care team to remember about you

More than birth preferences

Birth doesn’t always follow the plan we had imagined.

That’s why this plan doesn’t only focus on your ideal birth. It gives you space to think about what might help you feel supported if things change too — without trying to predict every possible scenario.

It can be particularly helpful if you find it difficult to explain what you need when you’re anxious or overwhelmed, or simply want the different people involved in your care to have a quick, clear understanding of you as well as your birth preferences.

Simple on purpose

This isn’t a lengthy birth workbook. It’s an intentionally concise two-page plan, designed to capture the things that matter without becoming overwhelming — for you to complete or for the people caring for you to read.

Use the prompts that feel relevant to you, leave the ones that don’t, and use the open spaces to make it your own.

What you’ll receive

You’ll receive a 2-page PDF digital download, ready to print and fill in by hand.

You can also add your own notes digitally using your device’s Markup tools.

No physical product will be posted to you.

You can’t plan every part of birth. But you can help your care team understand you.

This resource is designed to support you in thinking about and communicating your personal preferences. It does not replace conversations with your maternity team or individual medical advice.
