A clearer way to prepare, with you at the centre.

Understand your birth options, put your preferences into words and keep support close. Three connected resources, each with a role in helping you prepare for your own birth.

Birth Preparation Guide

Make sense of your options, one question at a time.

Mother Compass Birth Preparation Guide cover and questions page on tablets

You may have read plenty about birth and still wonder, “What does this mean for me?” This birth preparation guide helps you understand the options you may discuss, so your next step starts with a clearer picture.

  • Clear explanations of birth options. Explore labor, pain relief, monitoring, induction, cesarean birth and the first hours with your baby, without needing to know every medical term.
  • Questions you can actually use. “You can ask” prompts help you bring what’s unclear to your doctor or midwife, rather than wondering how to start the conversation.
  • Space for a different path. Understand what you can still ask and discuss if birth unfolds differently from what you hoped.

As you read, notice what matters to you. The Birth Decisions Planner gives those thoughts somewhere to go.

Birth Decisions Planner

Put your wishes into words, without starting from a blank page.

Mother Compass fillable and printable Birth Decisions Planner on iPad with printed birth plan

You might know you want to feel informed, supported and heard, but not know how to explain that in a birth plan. This fillable and printable birth planner helps you turn what you’ve learned into preferences that feel personal to you.

  • Start with your priorities. Guided prompts help you explore how you hope to feel, your biggest concern and what you want your care team to understand.
  • Work through your birth preferences. Organise your wishes around comfort, pain relief, support, communication and your first moments with your baby, with room to revisit your answers.
  • Keep practical preparation together. A hospital bag checklist and appointment notes give you a place for packing details, questions and the next steps you discuss.
  • Bring your wishes into one page. Complete a separate birth plan summary you can share with your care team and keep close for birth day.

Complete it digitally in Adobe Acrobat Reader or another PDF reader that supports fillable forms, or print it and write by hand.

The Guide helps you understand your choices. The Planner helps you make them personal. Keep your completed summary alongside the Birth Companion for quick reminders when you need them.

Birth Companion

Keep the words close when you need support.

Mother Compass mobile Birth Companion on a phone beside its Quick Decision Card

When your attention is on the moment, remembering everything you’ve read can feel like another task. This mobile-friendly birth companion brings short reminders and useful phrases together on your phone, ready to revisit.

  • Words when you’re unsure what to say. Ready-to-use phrases help you ask for a simpler explanation, express a preference or tell your team you need support.
  • One small thing to focus on. Gentle grounding prompts offer a starting point when everything feels like a lot, without expecting you to feel calm.
  • A clearer role for your support person. Practical reminders help them listen, stay close and support your voice without speaking over you.
  • Key questions within reach. The Quick Decision Card helps you recall questions about a recommendation, its urgency, alternatives, benefits and risks when there is time to discuss them.

Read it with your support person before birth and save it on your phone. Alongside your birth plan, it keeps the guidance you explored and the wishes you wrote down close to the conversation.

Understand with the Guide. Make it personal with the Planner. Keep support close with the Companion.

Whether this is your first baby or another pregnancy, you can begin with what matters today. You don’t need every answer before you start.

The Mother Compass experience, in words.

From “Where do I start?” to “I know what matters.” Your journey deserves that clarity, too.

I printed the planner and started filling it in that evening. The pages were clear and easy to follow, with enough room for my notes. It has that polished feel I hoped for, without being so decorative that it gets in the way.

I printed the planner and worked through a few pages with a pen. The questions were clear, with room to add my own thoughts. I liked being able to skip a section and return to it when I felt ready.

Grace

Verified Customer
Before reading the Birth Preparation Guide, I kept coming across terms without really understanding them. Afterwards, I could explain which options I wanted to know more about. My questions for my next appointment became much more specific.

Lucy

Verified Customer
I opened the planner and started with the questions I already had answers to. The sections were easy to follow, and I didn’t feel I needed to complete everything in order. It was a comfortable way to get started.

Olivia

Verified Customer
The Birth Decisions Planner helped me turn scattered thoughts into something I could share. I had my priorities written down, alongside the decisions I was still considering. It felt good to have a starting point without needing every answer.

Amelia

Verified Customer
I’ve used the planner most so far, dipping into the guide when I need more context. I like how the resources work together. There’s care in the way everything is presented, and I haven’t felt rushed to get through it all.

Hannah

Verified Customer
I took a little time to look through the resources first, then started using the planner alongside the guide. That worked well for me. I could read about an option, jot down my thoughts and leave the rest for another day.

Natalie

Verified Customer
I liked having the Birth Companion on my phone. After spending time with the guide, I could return to it for a quick reminder without opening the longer PDF. That made it easier to keep preparation part of my day.

Rebecca

Verified Customer
This is my second pregnancy, so I wasn’t looking to start from scratch. I wanted space to think about this birth. The prompts felt considered, and I appreciated being able to change my answers. That flexibility is one of my favourite things about the planner.

Sophie

Verified Customer
The prompts made the planner easy to use. Instead of trying to write a whole birth plan from scratch, I could answer one question at a time. Going back to change a preference felt just as straightforward.

Rachel

Verified Customer
The guide helped me understand my options, the planner gave me somewhere to work through my preferences, and the companion was handy to revisit on my phone. Together, they helped me move from collecting information to knowing what I wanted to discuss.

Eleanor

Verified Customer
The layout is lovely, but it was the questions in the planner that stood out to me. They gave me something useful to write about, rather than just another blank page. Mother Compass feels thoughtful in both the design and the content.

Your questions, answered

Your questions, answered.
We’re here with you.

What exactly will I receive?

You’ll receive three digital PDFs: the Birth Preparation Guide, the fillable and printable Birth Decisions Planner, and the mobile-friendly Birth Companion. All three are included in one purchase, with no recurring subscription. No physical items will be shipped.

Why choose this system when I can find birth advice for free?

Free advice can answer individual questions. This birth preparation system helps you connect the next steps: understand an option in the Guide, explore your preferences in the Planner, and revisit useful questions in the Companion. You’re paying for connected guidance and practical tools you can use for your own preparation.

How can it help me feel more prepared for birth?

It gives you something practical to do with what you learn. You can prepare questions for an appointment, write down your priorities and create a birth plan to discuss with your care team. The aim is to help you express what matters to you, while leaving room for your circumstances and plans to change.

Is it easy to use, even if I’m short on time?

Start with one question or one section. You don’t need to work through everything in order. Read on your phone, tablet or computer, and complete the birth planner digitally in free Adobe Acrobat Reader or another PDF reader that supports fillable forms. You can also print it and write by hand. Save your digital changes as you go. The one-page birth plan summary is completed separately.

How can my birth partner help me use the system?

Explore your preferences together in the Planner, then read the Birth Companion before birth. It gives your support person practical prompts for listening, offering comfort and helping you ask questions. They don’t need every answer to understand what matters to you.

Will I need to remember everything on birth day?

You don’t have to keep every detail in your head. Save the Birth Companion on your phone and keep your completed one-page birth plan nearby. Short reminders, ready-to-use phrases and the Quick Decision Card help you revisit what you need without searching through the longer Guide.

What guarantee comes with my purchase?

Your complete system includes a 7-day satisfaction guarantee. You have time to explore all three resources and begin using them in your birth preparation, with a refund available if requested within 7 days of purchase.
