What’s a Birth Plan — and Why Does It Matter?
A birth plan is a simple but powerful tool that outlines your preferences for labor, delivery, and postpartum care. It helps your care team understand what matters most to you — from pain management options to who’s in the room with you. Whether you’re hoping for a natural birth, planning a C-section, or just want to explore your options, a birth plan puts your voice at the center of your care.
