Expecting a baby?

Make your birth plan together, so you both walk in knowing what matters.

A free, guided planner for you and your partner. Answer one set of questions and get a birth preferences document, a one-page summary for your care team, your questions for your provider, and a postpartum plan.

Start my free birth plan

Free for both of you. No account, no signup. Your answers stay on your device. Partner or support person? Start your part here.

“Together” means you and whoever is showing up for you: a partner, a sister, a friend, a doula, or just you.

On a laptop? Your answers stay on the device you start on. To plan on your phone, point its camera at this code, or open tandembirth.com/plan there.

One questionnaire, several useful documents

Everything you need for the conversations that matter.

Birth preferences

Setting, support team, labor and comfort preferences, pain management, newborn care and feeding, organized in one document.

A one-page summary

The short version of your top priorities, easy to hand to whoever is on shift.

Questions for your provider

Topics worth raising at your next visit, plus your own questions, kept in one place.

A postpartum plan

The first 72 hours, who handles what at home, recovery and feeding support, and who to call, decided before you are exhausted.

Your actual situation

Induction, cesarean, VBAC, waterbirth, home or hospital. The planner works with what your care team has told you and does not give medical advice.

Not sure yet? Fine.

Mark any question "I'm not sure" and the planner keeps a list of things you still want to decide.

Built for two

Your partner gets a real role, not a footnote.

Your partner or support person answers their own short set of questions about what they are excited about, nervous about, and how they want to help. Their answers about how they will help come to you unless they uncheck them; the personal ones stay on their phone. Any partner, any family.

I'm the partner or support person: start my part

Private by default

The planner works in your browser. You do not need an account or an email address to use it, and nothing leaves your device unless you choose to print, export, or share it.

How it works

Thoughtful preparation without a giant form.

Answer one topic at a time

On your phone, tablet or computer, at your own pace. Come back whenever you like.

Mark what matters

Choose your preferences, flag what you are unsure about, and note your questions.

Print or save your documents

Your answers become printable documents you can save as PDFs and share with your care team.

Start my free birth plan

Want birth prep notes by email? Totally optional.

The planner works without it. If you would like occasional notes on preparing for birth and the first weeks, plus news when the Birth Story opens, leave your email. You can unsubscribe any time.

After the birth

Then tell the story.

The Birth Story, opening December 26, lets you tell the story of your baby's birth just by talking and get it back as a finished written story you can keep. What you planned can help shape the questions, if you choose.

The TandemBirth planner is for education and preparation only. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, individualized medical advice, or emergency guidance, and it does not replace care from your own licensed healthcare professionals. Birth preferences may need to change based on individual circumstances and clinical needs.
