About BirthPlan.net

Our Mission

BirthPlan.net was created with a simple but powerful mission: to empower expecting parents with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to create a meaningful birth experience that reflects their personal values and preferences.

We believe that every parent deserves to feel informed, prepared, and supported as they approach one of life's most transformative moments. A well-thought-out birth plan isn't about controlling an inherently unpredictable process—it's about understanding your options, communicating your preferences, and fostering a collaborative relationship with your healthcare team.

Why We Built This Resource

The journey into parenthood is filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes, overwhelming amounts of information. We noticed that while there were countless pregnancy resources available, many expecting parents struggled to find clear, comprehensive, and accessible information about creating birth plans.

BirthPlan.net was born from this need. We wanted to create a centralized hub where parents could:

• Access evidence-based information about labor and delivery options
• Use free, interactive tools to create personalized birth plans
• Find practical guides covering every aspect of birth preparation
• Explore different birth scenarios and make informed decisions
• Feel supported and confident, regardless of their chosen birth path

Our Approach

We take a balanced, inclusive, and evidence-based approach to birth planning:

Evidence-Based Information

All our content is thoroughly researched and based on current medical evidence and recommendations from leading health organizations. We regularly review and update our information to ensure accuracy.

Inclusive and Non-Judgmental

We support all birth choices and family structures. Whether you're planning a natural home birth, scheduling a C-section, or exploring birth center options, you'll find relevant, respectful information here.

Practical and Accessible

We believe information should be easy to understand and apply. Our guides are written in plain language, and our tools are designed to be intuitive and user-friendly.

Empowering, Not Prescriptive

We provide information to help you make decisions, not tell you what to decide. Your birth experience is yours to shape, and we're here to support whatever path you choose.

What We Offer

Our flagship tool walks you through every aspect of creating a comprehensive birth plan, from labor preferences to postpartum care. It's completely free and creates a professional document you can share with your healthcare team.

Practical Tools

Beyond the birth plan generator, we offer useful tools including a contraction timer, due date calculator, and hospital bag checklist—everything you need in one place.
