Everything here is free, written for two people, and ends in something you can print. No email addresses, no signups. Start with the free planner if you want to be asked questions; start here if you want to read first.
For whoever is supporting the birth: a partner, a parent, a friend, a doula. What they do, say, ask, carry and call.
For the person giving birth. One page, the decisions in order, and a version for every setting.
After the birth, or thirty years after. How to get it down, and why the second version matters.
US Letter, black and white, made to be folded. Each one has a page that explains how to use it.
Doulas, midwives, childbirth educators and nurses: print these for your families, and link to the guide pages rather than copying the files, so people get the current version. A short note on the bottom of each sheet points back here.
Everything on this page is also a question in the free two-person planner, which turns your answers into the documents: your birth preferences and a care-team quick reference, a labor quick card and game plan for your partner, your provider questions and a postpartum plan. No account; answers stay on your device.
These guides are for education and preparation only. They do not provide diagnosis, treatment, individualized medical advice or emergency guidance, and they do not replace care from your own licensed healthcare professionals. Where a topic needs clinical reading, each guide links to one reputable outside source.
