Birth Preferences Workbook & Companion Guide Bundle

Preparing for birth involves more than creating a birth plan—it starts with understanding your options.

The Birth Preferences Workbook & Companion Guide Bundle has been thoughtfully designed to help you explore your preferences, understand common choices offered during pregnancy and birth, and feel more confident in the decisions you make.

The Birth Preferences Workbook provides guided prompts and space to reflect on your values, priorities, and birth preferences. It encourages meaningful conversations with your care providers and helps you create a birth preferences document that reflects what matters most to you.

The Companion Guide works alongside the workbook, explaining each option in clear, easy-to-understand language. Rather than telling you what you should choose, it provides balanced information about common maternity care options, helping you understand the benefits, considerations, and questions you may wish to ask.

This bundle includes:

  • Birth Preferences Workbook (fillable PDF)

  • Birth Preferences Companion Guide

  • Instant digital download

Ideal for:

  • First-time parents wanting to understand their birth options.

  • Parents preparing for another birth and wanting to explore their choices.

  • Anyone looking to feel more informed, prepared, and confident before labour begins.

Whether you're planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, or home birth, this bundle will help you approach birth with greater knowledge, confidence, and clarity.

Please note: These resources are educational in nature and are designed to complement, not replace, advice from your healthcare provider.

Guide to understanding induction of labour

An Australian Guide to Your Options, Choices & Preferences

Being offered an induction of labour can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly when there is a lot of information to take in and decisions to make.

This practical guide has been created to help you understand why induction may be offered, what the process can involve, and what questions you may want to ask along the way.

Inside, you'll find clear, easy-to-understand information about the different methods of induction, what you might expect during the process, your choices and preferences, and things to consider when talking with your maternity care team.

The aim isn't to tell you whether induction is right or wrong for you. It's to help you feel more informed, prepared and confident asking questions and being involved in decisions about your care.

Perfect to read if you've recently been offered an induction, are preparing for a possible induction, or simply want to understand what induction of labour may involve.
