This presentation will explore the broader impact of birth plans on women's maternity experiences, drawing insights from Australia’s largest maternity survey, the Birth Experience Study. It will examine how women navigate the process of developing and executing their birth plans, including their personal responses and the feedback from healthcare providers. Additionally, the presentation will highlight effective strategies for providers to support women in crafting and implementing their birth plans, aiming to enhance the overall birth experience and strengthen the collaborative relationship between women and their care teams.
