Frequently Asked Questions
A one-page Birth Plan keeps it simple, clear and to the point. Only include what is necessary. You can choose up to 36 birth icons on your easy-to-scan iconic Birth Plan.
If you’d like to use more than 36 icons, make a Birth Plan for your birthing time and a second Birth Plan for your newborn baby!
Birth can be more predictable than you think, especially when allowed to unfold without unnecessary interventions, hospital rules and policies.
Know your options, reasons behind your choices and have confidence to speak up!
Please, don’t! Birth planning is a process of learning about birth, your options and what’s best for you and your baby!
With birth planning and education you have an understanding about birth, know your rights, choose the right care and support, influence your birth outcome with less interventions and birth trauma.
The best time is now, especially if you’re in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of your pregnancy.
100%! This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and talk about the appropriate care for you based on your individual circumstances, beliefs and risk level.
Start in your 3rd trimester or bring it up while you’re still interviewing your birth team to make sure you’re on the same page.
Postpartum planning is a process that can help you prepare for a smooth transition into parenthood, and set you up for success in the weeks and months following your baby's birth.
By creating a postpartum plan, you can anticipate and prepare for the physical and emotional changes that come with having a new baby.
Just as with birth planning, postpartum planning allows you to gain knowledge about your options and make informed decisions that are best for you and your baby!
Make your Postpartum Plan along with your Birth Plan, especially if you’re in the 3rd trimester of your pregnancy or approaching your baby’s birth month.
And it’s still not too late to make a Postpartum Plan after your baby’s birth and set yourself up for a blissful fourth trimester.
