Pregnancy Planning Tool
A conversation-based resource supporting informed decision-making that honors personal goals, values, and experiences throughout pregnancy and postpartum care.
Supporting Informed Decision-Making
Conversations about pregnancy planning can be complex, especially for individuals navigating substance use disorder, treatment decisions, and postpartum care. Having the right tools makes those conversations easier.
The Pregnancy Planning Tool was developed with input from people with lived experience to support honest, values-based conversations between patients and care teams.
Every person deserves care that honors their goals, their values, and their readiness — not assumptions about what they should want.
