How to Personalize This Visual Birth Plan Template

When you click on the link to download your free customizable birth plan template, you’ll get two choices: download an editable template via a zip file or download a PDF (not editable). To create the most personalized birth plan, we recommended downloading the zip file.

To edit the file, you’ll need access to Microsoft Word (Pages on Macs works, too) on a laptop or desktop computer.

Once you’ve downloaded the file, open it with your word processor. You’ll see on the second page of the document there are over a dozen additional icons to choose from. Just click and drag those icons to the first page and arrange them however you like.

Simply delete any icons that don’t apply to you. Once you’ve deleted the icons that do not apply to your birth plan, you’ll be left with the perfect visual plan—something nice, clean, and concise for nurses and doctors to refer to during your labor and delivery.

What Icons Are Included in This Visual Birth Plan Template?

This customizable birth plan template includes visual birth plan icons for:

During labor

• No medication: Use this icon if you don’t want pain medication or any kind of antibiotics for conditions like group B strep.
• Free movement: Studies show that women who are allowed to move freely during labor have shorter, less painful labors.
• Natural water rupture: Prematurely rupturing the bag of waters does not guarantee labor and can also lead to increased pain, more intense contractions, and increased risk of infection.
