FREE Visual Birth Plan Icons from The Positive Birth Book

Build a clear and beautiful plan with these bespoke icons

Birth plans are essential to a positive birth experience, not only because they clearly document your wishes, but also because in the process of making them, you can become better informed about your many choices. 

With this free download of nearly 100 icons, a unique collaboration between bestselling author and founder of the Positive Birth Movement, Milli Hill, and award winning artist, Kate Evans, you can create a beautiful visual birth plan that is clear for everyone involved to read and understand. You can also create plans for different scenarios: not just ‘Plan A’, but B and C too! 

There are icons for a multitude of birth and feeding choices, all created without judgement. For full explanations of each icon, and more information on how to create your own VBP, see chapter 6 in The Positive Birth Book by Milli Hill, available from Amazon and all good book sellers. 

Please note that the icons are for your private use only and may not be shared, sold or reproduced without written permission from the publisher Pinter & Martin.

The Positive Birth Book Visual Birth Plan Cards

You can also purchase the icons as a deck of cards, with the icon on one side, and a full explanation of the choice by birth expert Milli Hill, on the other. 

The deck of 100 icons represent every possible birth choice in every setting, from home birth to caesarean, and there are some blank cards included too. They are colour coded to help you organise your choices. You’ll also find a guide inside with suggestions to get you started.

The cards can be used in a number of ways: by pregnant women who want to work through their birth choices in a more visual and dynamic way; by those who want to explore them with their partner, doula, midwife or other supporters; or by birth professionals as a starting point for activities and discussions with their clients.
