Neurodivergent & Expecting: A Birth Planning Guide for Brains That Work Differently

Pregnancy advice always says "make a birth plan"—but what if your brain doesn’t do “typical”?

This guide was made for neurodivergent parents who want a birth experience that feels safe, supportive, and designed around how you actually function. Whether you're autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive, trauma-informed, or just tired of masking through major life events—this is for you.

If you’ve ever worried “what happens if I freeze up during labor?” or “what if the lights, voices, or constant touching send me over the edge?” — this guide gets it.

You deserve a birth experience that honors your brain, your body, and your boundaries. This guide shows you how to get there.

Who Is This For?

🕯️
Sensory-Sensitive Parents
For the ones who need dim lights, soft voices, and zero surprises to feel safe in their body and birth space.
🧠
Overwhelmed but Determined
For the ones Googling contractions at 2am, questioning if they’re ready, and quietly piecing together a plan with whatever time and energy they’ve got.
🌀
Sensory-Overload Survivalists
If you’re already dreading the beeping monitors, touching hands, and chaos of the delivery room—this is for you.
📚
The Overthinkers & Deep Preparers
For the ones who rehearse conversations before appointments and still leave thinking, “Ugh, I should’ve said…”

This Guide Is For You If:

You’ve ever shut down in the middle of a doctor’s appointment because they were talking too fast or too much…

You’ve ever needed to stim, cry, or leave the room—but didn’t know how to explain it without feeling “too much”…

You’ve ever frozen when asked to make a decision under pressure (and then said “yes” just to end the conversation)…

You’ve ever felt like your body was screaming “no” while your mouth said “it’s fine”…

You’ve ever been touched without warning and spent the next hour trying not to spiral…

You’ve ever spent more time prepping your hospital bag for sensory survival than for baby clothes…

You’ve ever gotten stuck in an anxiety loop over what to pack, what to say, or what might go wrong…

You’ve ever felt like your brain and the birth system are not built for each other…

This guide gets it. And it’s here to help you plan, prep, and protect your peace—your way.

I forgot every single thing I wanted to say at the hospital—but I handed the nurse my birth preferences page from this workbook and she literally said, “This is so helpful.” Total game-changer.
