Labour rarely goes exactly to plan. That's exactly why you need one.

At the Royal Women's Hospital, around 25% of births are unplanned caesareans. When that happens, decisions are made fast, often without the chance to ask questions or express your wishes.

A documented birth plan changes that. Your midwife knows your preferences for every scenario before labour even starts. You arrive informed, not overwhelmed.

33%

of unplanned C-sections take over 2 hours from decision to incision

Having a birth plan increases perceived control, reduces fear of delivery, and is associated with better birth experiences

Data: Royal Women's Hospital Maternity Reporting Dashboard, 2025. Research: Published maternity outcomes literature.

BirthPlan asks you about every scenario, water birth, epidural, caesarean, so your preferences are documented before you need them.

A plan your midwife can actually use

Most birth plans are 3-5 pages of prose that get set aside during active labour. Yours is one page, colour-coded by scenario, and designed to be read at a glance.
