From Freeze 
To Flow

You know having a birth plan matters

But the moment you try to start, you feel it: “Where do I even begin? What should go in here? And what if it all goes differently anyway?” So... you postpone. Not because it’s not important but because it feels like too much, too vague, or just overwhelming.

You’re smart

You want to make conscious choices. Maybe you’ve already done some reading, followed a course, or talked to your midwife. You know birth can’t be controlled - but you still want to communicate your needs clearly.You want to feel ready, grounded and taken seriously. For yourself. Your baby. Your team.

Your intentions are solid it’s just the action part that’s stuck

🌼 You’ve downloaded a template but never filled it in
🌼 Your mind is full but your choices aren’t written down
🌼 You keep postponing because you don’t know where to start
🌼 You want your partner to be involved but don’t know how to include them
🌼 You’re afraid of forgetting something important text.

Maybe you've already 

⚡ Saved a Pinterest template
⚡ Tried to copy someone else’s birth plan
⚡ Jotted some notes into your phone
⚡ Thought: “I’ll just go with the flow” - and then got anxious again later

And still… that blank page keeps staring back at you. If you're honest, you know this is something you're avoiding - not because you don’t care, but because you were never shown how to do it in a way that fits you.

The reason it's not working for you
is because your problem sits somewhere else

You try to figure it out. Alone. 

You’re trying to create a deeply personal plan using scattered bits of information. No structure. No clarity. No support.
And that leaves you feeling like you’re missing a key part of your preparation - not because you’re doing it wrong, but because you’ve been left to figure it out alone.

And I get it. You are not the only one. 

When I was pregnant with my first child, I felt this huge responsibility on my shoulders. I wanted to get it right. But in the end, I didn’t know what to write, so I just picked the options that seemed the “least bad”… and hoped they wouldn’t happen. Not because I didn’t care, but because my mind was running in circles. I never really thought it through - because no one showed me how.

That’s exactly why I created something new.
Not to tell you what to choose. But to help you start - and support you as you figure it out, in your own way.

Because the solution isn’t another template

It’s not about writing down generic statements or planning the “perfect” scenario.

It’s about:
✔ Creating space to reflect on what really matters to you
✔ Having a clear, gentle structure that helps you plan for different possibilities
✔ Bringing your partner into the process - without having to explain everything yourself

👋 About me

I started Birth Guides because birth preparation felt way too overwhelming. As a researcher and designer, I create tools that help you feel ready - without drowning in information you don’t need. Today, my work is recommended and used by midwifery practices across the Netherlands - supporting parents in feeling more confident and at ease with birth prep. 

✨ Other work: Your Birth Guide

A beautifully designed mini-book that gives you the essentials of birth prep - without the overwhelm. Made for the pregnant brain: visual, calming, and easy to revisit.

Whether you're just starting or pulling it all together, this guide helps you feel calm and clear - even if your head is already full.
