This bundle includes the following handouts:

• Cervical Exams: This handout covers reasons to do a cervical exam, what the information means, and what a cervical exam can and cannot tell you. Plus, provider questions and partner tips!

• Fertility Tracker: This handy worksheet helps families track their cycle and symptoms with some beautiful art by Amy Haderer ([M]otherboard Founder, CEO, and Artist Extraordinaire).

• Habit Tracker: Need to track how much water you're taking, if you took your prenatal vitamin, or any other pregnancy-related habit? These five habit trackers are for you! Featuring five pieces of art by [M]otherboard CEO and Founder, Amy Haderer.

• Informed Choice: Making informed choices is vital to having parents feel like an integrated, valued part of their own birth. It can inoculate them against trauma, even when births don't always go as planned. This handout explains the steps of an informed choice decision, utilizing the BRAIN acronym, and models sample questions for their provider.

• Pregnancy and Birth Affirmations: These pregnancy and birth affirmations are trauma-informed and help cultivate a positive mindset for birth.

• Prodromal (Start and Stop) Labor: Prodromal (start and stop) labor can be frustrating. This handout has helpful tips for parents on how to change things up and push through by preserving energy and helping baby get into a more desirable position for birth.

• Signs of Labor (Cheat Sheet and Regular Handout): Recognizing the signs of labor can be stressful, especially for first time parents. This includes two handouts: One that's a cheat sheet for the refrigerator, and one that's a more detailed description of the signs of labor.

• Induction Info: This handout covers elective vs medical inductions, questions for your care provider, and how ready your body is for an induction (cervical change, Bishop's Score). A great resource to add to your informed choice conversations regarding induction!

• Kick Counts: We all know that kick counts can be really important in helping pregnant folks touch base with their baby and alert to decreases in movement to make sure baby is healthy. This worksheet helps parents record kicks from week 26 to week 42.

• OB Tools (Interventions): There can be many tools that families may encounter during their birth. This handout covers: Cervical exams, membrane sweeps, IV fluids, monitoring, epidurals, nitrous oxide, sterile water injections, cervidil and cytotec, balloon induction, pitocin, episiotomy, and vacuum/forceps. We explain what each tool is "good for," but we don't go into a detailed benefits/risks analysis in the interest of time and space. A handy sheet explaining everything they'll need to pack for birthing person, partner, and baby!

• Packing List: A handy sheet explaining everything they'll need to pack for birthing person, partner, and baby!

• Partner Worksheet: This worksheet is so useful for parents to discover if they're on the same page, or if there are things they should work out before baby arrives. This includes how baby will be fed, circumcision, where baby will sleep, what happens if baby cries, childcare, etc. Completing this worksheet prenatally can help alleviate stress and conflict after baby is born!

• Physiology - Anatomy: This worksheet outlines internal and external genital and pregnancy anatomy. Beside each item there's a space for a clinical/medical term, and a term that they would prefer to use. This is great for helping trans and nonbinary folks feel more included if they don't want to use standard medical terminology during their birth.

• Pregnancy Handout: Pregnancy is a normal state of being, but it's not kind to everyone. This handout covers body changes, mental changes, social changes, energy, nausea, and what they can do to prepare for birth.

• VBAC: Preparing for a VBAC can be no small task! This handout covers finding a provider, finding support, moving through labor, and processing your journey (however it may be).
