A gentle, beautiful way to map out your ideal birth — and share it with your midwife and birth team.
Thoughtfully designed in New Zealand for water-birth and home-birth mums, this detailed, fillable PDF lets you simply tick the preferences that feel right for you and type in your own words — then print it or share it digitally so on the day, your team already knows exactly what you want.
What's inside — every choice that matters:
My details & birth team (name, partner, doula, midwife/LMC)
My birth vision — written in your own words
Environment — lighting, music, affirmations, who's in the room
Labour & positions, and a dedicated water birth section
Monitoring & vaginal exam preferences
Pain management — a full natural-comfort strategy checklist
Second stage & pushing, episiotomy & tears
Golden hour, third stage & placenta
Baby's first checks (Vitamin K, weighing, first bath, feeding)
If plans change — gentle/family-centred caesarean wishes
Format: Instant digital download · Interactive fillable A4 PDF with tick-boxes (also prints beautifully) · 2 pages · for personal use.
This guide supports your conversations with your midwife or LMC and is not medical advice.
