CREATED WITH BIRTH EDUCATION IN MIND

Created by a certified birth doula and childbirth educator, this workbook is designed to make birth planning feel more approachable and less overwhelming.

Your birth experience is unique, and your preferences deserve thoughtful consideration. Use this workbook as a starting point for exploring what matters to you and communicating your wishes with your birth team.

Birth plans and preferences may need to be adapted based on changing circumstances, medical considerations, and discussions with your healthcare provider.

Meaningful conversations for the journey into parenthood.

A baby changes so much more than your family size. It can change your routines, your relationship, your priorities, and the way you see the future.

But in the middle of preparing the nursery, buying baby essentials, and planning for birth, it can be easy to forget to prepare for the transition you're making together.

Before Baby Arrives is a printable set of pregnancy conversation cards designed to help expecting couples slow down, connect, and explore the conversations that matter before welcoming their little one.

Whether you're expecting your first baby or adding another child to your family, these cards offer a simple way to share expectations, discuss hopes and concerns, and prepare for life together after birth.

 WHAT'S INCLUDED

Your digital download includes:

48 Pregnancy Conversation Cards; divided into six meaningful categories: 
*Our Relationship; explore connection, intimacy, and how your relationship may change
*Birth Expectations; discuss your thoughts, preferences, and feelings about birth
*Life After Baby; talk about routines, responsibilities, and the transition into parenthood
*Parenting Values; explore the values and traditions you hope to bring into your family
*Communication & Support, discuss how you'll communicate and support one another
*Hopes, Fears & Dreams; make space for the feelings, questions, and dreams you carry into this new chapter

## HOW TO USE YOUR CARDS

There is no right or wrong way to use these cards!

1. Print and cut out your cards.
2. Choose a quiet moment together, such as a date night, during pregnancy, or as part of your birth preparation.
3. Take turns drawing a card and answering the question.
4. Listen with curiosity rather than judgment.
5. Revisit the questions as your thoughts and needs evolve.

You don't have to finish the deck in one sitting. Choose a few cards at a time and let the conversations unfold naturally.

 WHO IS THIS FOR?

These cards are perfect for:

* Expecting couples who want to prepare for parenthood together
* First-time parents exploring what life with a baby might look like
* Growing families preparing to welcome another child
* Couples preparing for birth and the postpartum period
* Baby shower gifts for parents-to-be
* Pregnancy announcements, maternity gifts, or a thoughtful date-night activity

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD DETAILS

* Printable digital product, no physical item will be shipped.
* Designed for at-home printing.
* Print on regular paper or cardstock for sturdier cards.
* For personal use only.

**Please note: Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen, printer, and paper. You will need a PDF reader and access to a printer, or a printing service, to use the cards.

A LITTLE PREPARATION CAN GO A LONG WAY

You don't need to have every answer before your baby arrives. You simply need space to talk, listen, learn about one another, and prepare for the changes ahead.

Let these cards help you begin those conversations — one question at a time.

*These cards are intended for educational and personal reflection. They are not a substitute for individualized medical advice, professional counseling, or clinical childbirth education.*
