Episode #008 - The Memo on: Birth Plans

The Midwife Memos with Lauretta Hamilton - Podcast

In this episode, I’m diving deep into something that often stirs up mixed opinions: birth plans. You’ve probably heard the phrase “you can’t plan birth,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare — and that’s exactly what this episode is about.

We explore;

  • What a birth plan actually is & why it can be a powerful tool

  • What the research says about their impact

  • Why creating one with your care provider is key

  • What to include

  • How to make it nice and clear
