Pregnancy Planner

Preparing for childbirth is an important step that helps expectant mothers feel more in control, better informed, and more connected to their care. At Plodnost Hospital, we understand that every pregnancy is unique, and every woman deserves to approach birth with clarity, comfort, and confidence. This is why we created the Pregnancy Planner – a tool that allows you to document your thoughts, preferences, and expectations in one place.

 

The Pregnancy Planner is a structured form designed to help you reflect on your birth preferences and communicate them with your healthcare team. It is not a binding contract, nor a substitute for professional medical advice or decisions made during childbirth. However, it serves as a valuable reference and communication aid, especially in moments when you may feel overwhelmed or when quick decisions need to be made.

 

Completing this form gives you the opportunity to consider various aspects of your upcoming birth, such as the environment where you feel most comfortable giving birth, who you would like to have by your side, and your thoughts on pain relief, caesarean birth, newborn care, and recovery. It helps bring attention to the details that matter to you and prepares your caregivers to support you with respect and understanding.

 

This tool is available in both English and Macedonian, and it is suitable for all expectant mothers regardless of whether this is your first pregnancy or not. Whether you are planning to give birth naturally or are preparing for a scheduled caesarean, the planner gives you space to consider your needs and values. It is particularly helpful if you have specific concerns or preferences that you want your team to be aware of ahead of time.

 

Once you complete the form, your answers are automatically organised into a clearly structured PDF document. You can print this document or share it digitally with your doctor or midwife at Plodnost Hospital. The information you provide can guide discussions at prenatal visits and can be included in your medical records to ensure that your care team is familiar with your wishes.

 

The planner includes sections about you and your pregnancy, your preferences for the place of birth, the people who will accompany you, your needs during labour, how you wish to handle birth-related decisions, and your intentions for the moments after delivery, including breastfeeding and newborn care.

 

Plodnost Hospital offers this tool as part of our commitment to patient-centred care. We believe that every woman should have the opportunity to be an informed and active participant in her childbirth experience. Taking a few minutes to plan ahead can help make your journey to motherhood more peaceful, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs.

 

You can begin your pregnancy planning now by selecting the language in which you would like to complete the form. The planner is free to use and easy to navigate, and your completed PDF is ready immediately after submission.
