Creating a birth plan is about far more than filling out a checklist. It’s an opportunity for clients to explore their values, understand their options, clarify their priorities, and prepare for meaningful conversations with their care team. This session helps clients move beyond generic birth plan templates and create a plan that reflects their unique goals, preferences, and comfort levels while remaining flexible for the realities of birth.
Through guided discussion, clients will explore what matters most to them during labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. They’ll learn how to navigate hospital policies, understand their rights as patients, communicate effectively with providers, and advocate for informed decision-making. Rather than focusing on controlling every aspect of birth, this session helps clients build confidence in their ability to make decisions, adapt to changing circumstances, and approach birth feeling informed, prepared, and empowered.
Know exactly what to cover and when to cover it. The session outline provides a clear roadmap for the visit, including suggested timing, discussion topics, activities, and key learning objectives to help you lead a structured, engaging prenatal session with confidence.
Created specifically for doulas, this facilitator resource includes teaching notes, conversation prompts, suggested talking points, and practical guidance for leading meaningful discussions. It’s designed to help you feel prepared, stay on track, and confidently guide clients through the session, even if it’s your first time covering the topic.
Support learning beyond the session with thoughtfully designed client resources, reflection activities, and take-home materials. These tools encourage clients to process what they’ve learned, explore topics in greater depth, prepare for upcoming discussions, and continue meaningful conversations between visits.
Each visit builds on the last, guiding families through education, reflection, and preparation, step by step.
