Birth Preferences Worksheet

Your collaborative tool for communicating your care preferences for labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum.

This worksheet is designed to help you communicate your values, preferences, and care goals with your birth team. Research shows that respectful, individualized care improves outcomes and satisfaction. Use this as a starting point for conversations with your providers, and adapt it freely as your needs evolve.

ⓘ It is helpful to note that birth is dynamic. Your preferences may change during labor, and that's completely normal. This worksheet supports informed decision-making and ongoing consent.
