Shows Your Birth Team Who You Are - Not Just What You Want
The only birth plan designed by maternal mental health and midwife professionals. It captures your emotional needs, communication style, and what helps you feel safe, not just medical preferences.
Birth Plan
Psychologically-Informed Birth Preferences
Key Information for My Care
First pregnancy • History of anxiety • Partner should be included in all decisions
"Please explain things calmly and give me time to process. I need to feel heard and not rushed."
A birth plan your midwife will actually use
Most birth plans get glanced at and put aside. Ours is designed with midwives to be scannable, practical, and focused on what they need to know to support you, especially when things get intense.

You Deserve More Than a Medical Checklist
Traditional birth plans leave out the most important thing: you. Your fears, your needs, your voice.
Your emotions get ignored
Traditional birth plans focus on medical preferences but ignore your emotional needs, the very thing that determines how you cope.
Too long for busy midwives
Most birth plans are too long. In a busy ward, midwives need to grasp your needs in seconds, not minutes.
Left without support when plans change
Without knowing what helps you stay calm, your partner and team can't support you when things don't go to plan.
When birth teams understand your emotional needs, you can navigate any twist in your journey and still feel in control.
The Birth Plan Your Midwife Will Thank You For
The Mothermind Birth Plan goes beyond medical preferences to capture everything your team needs to support you, emotionally and practically.
Feel Heard, Not Ignored
Your birth plan includes what helps you feel safe, calm signals, and how you cope with stress.
Designed by Experts Who Understand
Created by maternal mental health experts to prepare you for every scenario.
Your Partner Knows Exactly How to Help
Clear guidance for your partner on how to advocate for you and recognise when you need help.
Prepared for the Unexpected
Prepared responses for when things don't go as expected, so you're never caught off guard.
Your completed birth plan is formatted as a professional, hospital-compatible PDF that medical staff can quickly scan and understand.
