Preparing Your Ideal Birth Plan

The Maternal Health Network has established community education materials for preparing your ideal birth plan, which highlights planning with your provider, the birth environment, and flexibility. These materials are available for download and are intended to be utilized by Maternal Health Network members to educate families in San Bernardino County.

Before facilitating a presentation with families, please watch the Facilitator Tips and Tricks video for information on how to best communicate this information with families.

Subject matter experts provided the Maternal Health Network with what they see as the three most important things families need to know about preparing your ideal birth plan. Using this information, the Maternal Health Network has established a consumer presentation toolkit for providers, which includes a flyer, PowerPoint presentation with facilitator notes, an Agenda, and a training video that is intended to provide a mechanism for consistent messaging across providers for preparing your ideal birth plan. All materials are available for download and have space for you to add your organization’s logo on the materials should you desire.
