Birth Plan Resources

There are a lot of online birth plan generators, but many of them don't give you the information you need to research your options. This birth plan guide has a lot of good information and sample birth plans, and this one is a checkbox birth plan generator that also provides links to further information.

Here are some other resources that may be helpful to you in researching your birth options:
Childbirth Connection
Pushed Birth
Mothers Naturally
Henci Goer's articles
Consumer Reports on Maternity Care

Also:
Iowa City Doulas
May 16 Birth Plan Workshop

Some great books to use when creating a birth plan:
The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer
Creating Your Birth Plan by Marsden Wagner and Stephanie Gunning
The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin
