You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.
A: Whenever you like! Ideally, I recommend completing it early in your third trimester. This gives you time to really think about your preferences and what is important to you. It also allows time to research and ask questions to your healthcare providers to ensure you are fully informed in all your options. However, you can complete it at any stage during pregnancy.
A: You’ll get instant access to your online portal, where you can download the birth preferences and start right away. The template is easy to use and comes in a PDF format for quick access.
A: No! This guide is for anyone preparing for birth, whether it’s your first baby or your third. While you may have experience, every birth is different. This guide helps you create an intentional plan for a birth.
A: No! This covers preferences for all types of birth including vaginal birth, vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) or a caesarean birth. These preferences can also be used for an induction of labour. It outlines preferences for all options and also preferences for when thing don't go to plan.
A: Absolutely! It’s important for you and your partner to be on the same page. By working through the guide together, you’ll be able to make informed decisions as a team. It's also important your partner and healthcare providers are familiar with your preferences so they can advocate for you.
