To make things easier, we've put everything together in one place in this simple birth plan template. Simply print it off and fill in your preferences!

To help ensure you've got everything you need, print off our handy checklist so you don't forget any of the essentials in your hospital bag. Our guide covers everything from comfortable clothing and toiletries to items for your newborn and even a few extras to make your hospital stay more comfortable.
Contraction log
When you think you might have gone into labour, it can be difficult to think straight and remember everything as it's happening. Still, when you do make it into hospital, it can be really helpful for your midwife to have a clear idea of what's been happening to establish what needs to be done.
If you think you're in labour, use this table to track when your contractions start/end and add any notable comments so your midwife can determine if labour has begun, and how far you might have progressed.
