Birth Plan Development
There is a lot going on when it comes to birth!
While having a birth plan doesn't guarantee a particular outcome, having an idea of the process and what your options are can help you create a satisfying experience.
​
Developing a birth plan can help you communicate with your birth team and make you a better informed consumer.

Improve birth satisfaction
Decrease postpartum depression and PTSD
Reduce C-section rates
Facilitate shared decision-making
