Free birth plan generator: answer questions, get the documents, no signup
A birth plan generator asks you questions and writes the page, instead of handing you a template to fill in. This one is free, needs no account or email, works on a phone, keeps your answers on your own device, and is built for two people: the person giving birth and the person supporting them each answer their own questions and get their own documents.

You can do the main path in one sitting, or stop and come back; your answers are saved on the device you use.
Open the free birth plan generator I'm the partner or support personWhat it asks
The questions follow the order decisions come up: where and with whom, what you want the room to be like, labor and comfort, how you want decisions made and information given, the birth itself, what happens if a cesarean is needed, your baby's first hours, and the first days at home. Questions that do not apply to you are skipped: a home birth path does not ask about hospital logistics, and an induction section appears only if you say induction is planned or possible. Two early questions carry extra weight, because they are the ones a partner and a care team most need to hear: what you are hoping this birth will be like, and what you are most nervous about.
Most questions have "I'm not sure" as an answer. Choosing it is not a failure; it adds the topic to a list of things you still want to decide, which is often the most useful document that comes out.
What it writes
- Birth preferences, grouped by stage, one or two pages, in the form staff are used to reading.
- A care team quick reference: the short version a nurse acts on, with who may be in the room, your pain plan, monitoring, cord clamping, newborn medications, cesarean wishes, skin to skin, feeding and how you want information given.
- Questions for your provider: everything you marked unsure or asked about, collected for the next appointment.
- Things you still want to decide, so an open question is not forgotten.
- A postpartum plan: the first 72 hours, who does what at home, recovery and feeding support, your contacts, appointments and leave, and what your care team told you to watch for.
- For the partner or support person, from their own private path: how to support you, a labor-room quick card, a game plan, and a call-and-go card with the real numbers on it.
Each document prints or saves as a PDF from the browser. Nothing is emailed to you unless you ask for the optional check-in after the birth.
Why it is built for two
The person holding the plan during labor is usually not the person who wrote it. Here the partner or support person has their own short set of questions on their own phone: what they are excited about, nervous about, unsure about, how they hope to help, and what would worry them if they saw or heard it during labor. Those answers become their own documents. Each question says who can see the answer: the ones about how the partner will help are set to share and can be unchecked, the personal ones stay private, and only what has its share box checked crosses over. When one of you wants the other's shared answers, the planner exports a handoff file the other phone imports; private answers never travel. The result is two plans that fit together, written by the two people who will be in the room.
Privacy, plainly
Your answers are stored on the device you use, in your browser, and nowhere else. There is no account to create and no login. The planner counts a few actions (when someone starts or finishes a path, or opens a document), never anything you type. The only thing you can send us is an email address for the optional post-birth check-in, and that is a separate, clearly labeled step. If you clear your browser data you clear your plan, so the planner reminds you to export a backup file after a week of changes. The privacy policy says the same thing in more words.
Scenario sections
If an induction is planned or possible, the main path asks what your own care team has told you and the questions you still want to ask, and it records what you want if a cesarean happens. A scheduled cesarean, a VBAC and a water birth have their own questions in the planner's Scenario Preparation preview, with a link to one trusted outside page on each (ACOG patient pages for induction, cesarean and VBAC; Evidence Based Birth for pain management and water birth). It organizes and clarifies; it does not recommend, predict or decide eligibility, which stays between you and your provider. The written guides go deeper: induction, cesarean, VBAC, home birth and birth center, hospital.
If you would rather have paper
The free one-page birth plan template covers the same ground as the generator's preferences document, as a printable you fill in by hand, and the Partner One-Pager is the printable version of the partner's path. You can do both: fill in the paper in an evening, then run the generator to find out what you forgot.
Questions people ask
Is the birth plan generator free?
Yes, completely: every question, every document, both paths, printing and PDF export. There is no paid tier inside the planner and no account to create.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. On a phone you can add it to the home screen so it opens like an app, and it works offline once loaded.
How long does it take?
It can be done in one sitting, and less if you skip what does not apply. You can stop at any point; answers are saved on your device and the planner opens where you left off.
Can my partner and I use it on two phones?
Yes. Each of you answers on your own phone. To bring the other person's shared answers across, one phone exports a handoff file and the other imports it. Only answers marked as shared are included.
Does it give medical advice?
No. It records what you want and what your care team has told you, and collects your questions for them. It does not recommend, predict or determine eligibility for anything. Where a topic needs reading, it links to one reputable outside page.
Where are my answers stored?
On your own device, in your browser's storage. Not on our servers. You can export a backup file and import it on another device or after clearing your browser.
