Hospital Birth Preferences

The Birth Plan was developed by Penny Simkin as a way to empower women to confidently express their desires for birth. Throughout the years, it has evolved from ‘birth plan’ to ‘birth preferences’ as a way to be more flexible with the process. Your birth preferences can help you clearly communicate your needs to your provider during labor and delivery. Whether you want a medicated birth, non medicated, or anything in between. Your voice matters and having a plan can help you feel more prepared for your birthing journey.
