Hospital Plan

What is a Newborn Birthing Plan?

Having a birth plan is key for guaranteeing that your birthing experience lines up with your preferences and values. A birth plan empowers you. We want you to feel empowered.

As an expectant mother, you have the right to determine what your birth plan will look like. We discuss your unique needs and desires with you and try to design a roadmap for your journey through labor, delivery, and the precious moments thereafter. This plan encapsulates your hopes and preferences, ensuring that every step of this journey reflects your wishes and comforts.

There are no right or wrong answers. There are many things to consider, but as you contemplate the future birth and future, remember that everything can change.
