The Birth Plan Partners Workbook

What You Both Need — Before, During, and After

The birth plan covers the delivery. Nobody wrote one for both of you.

This is for:

For the two people preparing for birth together who know the medical plan covers the delivery but not the relationship — and who want both partners' needs, fears, and roles named before labor.

You'll produce:your Birth Plan Partners Agreement

The Name It First Experience

Most birth plans document medical preferences for labor and delivery. They skip what the supporting partner needs, what both people fear, and what happens to the relationship after. The Birth Plan Partners Agreement names all of it — each partner's role, fears, and the shared commitments that hold when the plan changes. The output is not a checklist. It is a signed agreement.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. Name what you are most afraid of about this birth — and describe what you need from your partner in that moment.
  2. What does the person giving birth need from their supporting partner that isn't in the medical birth plan?
  3. What do you both want your first hours together as a new family to feel like — and what would help create that?
