Birth plan form
Give expecting parents a clear, organized way to share their birth preferences with their care team, so everyone walks into delivery on the same page.
Labor moves fast, and a birth plan buried in a folder or missed during handoff means the birth preferences of expectant parents get overlooked when it matters most. Typeform's birth plan form template gives expecting parents a clear way to capture and communicate their preferences to their care team before labor begins.
‍
The form covers labor preferences, pain management options, support person roles, delivery environment, newborn care wishes, and postpartum priorities. Questions appear one at a time, giving parents a clear path through each decision without feeling overwhelmed. Conditional logic adapts based on each parent's choices. Someone planning an unmedicated birth sees different questions than someone requesting an epidural, keeping the plan specific to each family's situation.
‍
Customize the question set to reflect your practice's care options or birth center protocols. Share via email during the third trimester or embed on your patient portal for easy access. Submissions sync automatically to your EHR or Google Sheets via Zapier, so the care team reviews preferences before the patient arrives. Walk into every delivery with a clear picture of what each patient wants, so you’re not piecing it together mid-labor.
A birth plan form is a structured document that expecting parents use to communicate their preferences for labor, delivery, and postpartum care. It captures decisions about pain management, support person roles, delivery environment, newborn procedures, and feeding choices. It functions as a clear, organized reference for the care team, so the family’s wishes don’t get lost in translation.Â
Birth plans matter most in high-pressure moments when verbal communication is hardest. A structured form ensures preferences are documented, organized, and accessible to every member of the care team, not just the person who heard them in a prenatal appointment. It reduces communication in the delivery room, gives parents a sense of agency over their experience, and helps care teams honor parents’ preferences when the stakes are highest.
Cover the decisions that shape the entire birth experience:
- Pain management preferences (epidural, nitrous oxide, unmedicated, etc.)
- Mobility and positioning preferences during labor
- Support person roles and who may be present
- Preferences for fetal monitoring and medical interventions
- Newborn care wishes (delayed cord clamping, skin-to-skin, vitamin K, etc.)
- Feeding intentions (breastfeeding, formula, or combination)
- Postpartum preferences (rooming-in, visitor restrictions, etc.)
- Preferences in case of cesarean section
Complete the birth plan during the third trimester—ideally between weeks 32 and 36—so there is time to discuss preferences with the care provider before labor begins. While preferences can shift closer to delivery, having a documented plan early ensures every member of the care team starts from the same baseline. Share the completed form with the obstetrician (OB) or midwife at a prenatal appointment so any questions or constraints get addressed before delivery day.
Share the completed form directly with the OB, midwife, or labor and delivery team before the due date, either through email or the patient portal. Bring a printed copy to the hospital or birth center on delivery day, since electronic records aren't always immediately accessible during labor. Connect the form to Google Sheets or your EHR via Zapier so submissions log automatically and the care team can review them before the patient arrives.

Bank Reference Form
A reference request faxed to a bank branch and left sitting in a queue for weeks isn't the kind of turnaround a landlord or business can wait on. Collect the applicant's signed authorization and the specific details you need confirmed before the request even reaches the bank, so a decision isn't stuck behind a letter that hasn't come back yet.

X-Ray Release Form
A phone call asking to send X-rays to a new provider isn't an authorization your compliance file can rely on. Collect patient information, the receiving provider's details, and a signed authorization before the images go out, so your front desk isn't scrambling to prove who approved a release.

Bar Inventory Form
A bottle count eyeballed at the end of a shift and scrawled on a paper sheet doesn't hold up against a pour cost report that says something doesn't add up. Collect what your bar actually needs, item, count, and variance, on a schedule you can actually compare week to week.
View template
Equipment Inventory Form
Equipment that leaves a storage room in someone's arms, with no note about where it went, doesn't show up again until someone needs it and can't find it. Collect what your team actually needs, item details, condition, and who's got it, every time something moves.
View template
Maintenance Agreement Form
A maintenance plan agreed to over the phone isn't a contract your service team can actually work from, especially when nobody's sure whether the twice-a-year tune-up was part of the deal. Collect the equipment covered, service frequency, and a signed agreement before the first visit, so your team isn't guessing at scope once they're on-site.

Incentive Claim Form
A rebate claim mailed in with a stapled stack of receipts isn't the kind of paperwork that gets processed quickly, especially when a required serial number turns out to be missing from page three. Collect proof of purchase, product details, and participant information upfront, so a claim doesn't bounce back for a missing document weeks later.
