A note from Niva

Educational wellness support, not medical advice. Your care team can help with questions about your own pregnancy.

Questions people ask

Is a birth plan a medical instruction?

No. It is a starting point for discussing your preferences and possible changes with your care team.

Can I change my choices?

Yes. Your preferences can change. Revisit them with your care team whenever you need to.
