Because Winging It Isn’t On Your Birth Plan
This workbook is your step-by-step guide to understanding what’s coming, making informed decisions, and getting your mind and body ready for the big day.
You Can’t Control Birth—
But You Can Prepare for It
Just because you can’t script every moment doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare your mind, body, and support team. In fact, knowing your options and understanding what’s coming helps you stay grounded—even when plans change.
As a mama and a Labor & Delivery nurse, I understand how overwhelming it can be to be approaching your due date and feel like you are completely unprepared for what you are about to go through.
Between understanding what to expect in labor and asking all the right questions, labor is something that you shouldn't do blind.
You want to be as prepared as possible when approaching this incredible (and incredibly challenging) day.
With this Labor & Delivery Workbook, you'll be able to plan and prepare for childbirth complete important to-do lists, and document all of the special memories. I wouldn't labor without it!
Questions to Get Answered
The reason why I made this workbook is to make sure new moms could be prepared. In order to do that, new moms need to ask all of the right questions and make sure they get answered. I have come up with questions that you want answered for everyone including your provider, your pediatrician, your babysitter, and more.
Pre-Labor To-Do Lists
If you are anything like me, To-Do lists are a must for every situation! I have provided you with a To-Do list for the final stages of your pregnancy to prepare for labo rand birth. Make sure that you get everything done on time by keeping track of each important check-box. With this workbook, you will be receiving a total of 3 separate To-Do lists to complete at the end of your pregnancy before your due date.
Checklists
I've included my clickable checklists seaparte from the pregnancy journal itself. You will get 14 total pages of checklists that include the "Baby Registry Checklist", the "Hospital Bag Checklist", the "Birth Plan Preparation Checklists" the "Postpartum Recovery Checklist" . All of these lists are clickable so that when you open the PDF you can immediately click on any product that I recommend and be taken directly to the porduct that I am recommending.
Labor Trackers
You've probably wondered how your labor will start, how long it will last, and what it will be like. There is no way to predict how labor will turn out, but you can document it so that you can tell your labor story forever.
Memorabilia
The most memorable moments in a mother's life are the first ones with her new babies. The details of these moments should be cherished and held close to your heart. In order to do that, you need to be able to document them in the first place.
Journal Entries
With this workbook you'll receive journal pages for moments such as your delivery day and taking baby home. Here you will be able to document photos and details that you don't want to forget.
