NHS Suffolk and North East Essex - Labour and Birth Booklet

38 Personal care plans During pregnancy, we encourage every woman to complete their own personal care plans in partnership with their midwives and/or doctors. Completing these plans will support you in your preferences for pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Plans are available for: • Health and wellbeing in pregnancy complete at the beginning of (or anytime during) your pregnancy • Personalised birth preferences complete at/from 32-34 weeks of pregnancy • After your baby is born complete from 34 weeks of pregnancy • Birth reflections complete after your baby’s birth Your plans can be hand written in the Personal care plans booklet or completed on the mum & baby app (then printed if you wish). In the app you will find a wide selection of useful and important information about pregnancy, birth and what happens after your baby is born. You can download the free app to your smartphone or tablet via the App Store or Google Play. You can also access the information contained within the app in booklet format from your local maternity unit or online. There are booklets available on Your pregnancy, Personal care plans and After your baby’s birth . Ask your midwife about getting this information if you’re not sure.
