Need to Research Something
You heard the stories. Black mothers get dismissed in the delivery room every day. Build your birth plan, train your people on exactly what to say, and know the warning signs that mean raise your voice NOW.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Black women die from pregnancy complications at around three times the rate of white women, and most of those deaths are preventable.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Build the One-Page Birth Plan
Turn your preferences and conditions into one clean page the staff can read in 30 seconds: conditions up top, consent rules, who's allowed in, what you want.
03
Load Up Your Appointment Questions
Get the questions to bring to your next prenatal visit, including asking your provider straight up how they handle it when a patient says something is wrong during labor.
04
Get Your Scripts Ready
Word-for-word lines for the moment somebody brushes you off, including making them document your concern in your chart.
05
Train Your People
Separate scripts for your support person: what to say, when to ask for the charge nurse or patient advocate, and the hospital chain of command so they know exactly whose attention to get.
06
Learn the Never-Ignore Signs
The warning signs during labor and the six weeks after that are never 'just normal': the headaches, the bleeding, the swelling, the feeling that something is off. Review this list with your provider.
07
Set the Six-Week Watch
Most of the danger comes after everybody goes home and the attention shifts to the baby. Set up who checks on YOU, how often, and what they're watching for.
08
Run It Back and Lock It In
Review the whole plan with your support person, confirm the medical pieces with your provider at your next appointment, print two copies for the hospital bag, and make sure everybody knows their job.

Don’t Let Them Play You in the Delivery Room
Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
How many weeks or months are you? First baby or you been here before?
Which hospital or birth center, if you know. Say 'not sure yet' if you're still deciding.
Anything your doctor is watching? Blood pressure, diabetes, sickle cell, prior c-section, anything at all. Say 'none that I know of' if you're clear.
0/10000
Ever been dismissed or brushed off by doctors or nurses before? What happened? This shapes your scripts.
0/10000
Who is going to be in that room with you? Who is on call as backup?
Do you have a doula or midwife on your team?
What scares you most about the delivery or the weeks after? Name it so the plan covers it.
0/10000
Anything you already know you want or don't want? Pain management, who's in the room, skin-to-skin, anything. Say 'not sure yet' and the plan will walk you through the options to discuss with your provider.

Beginner instructions
Answer the questions as best you can, even if you are early in the pregnancy and some answers are ‘I don’t know yet.’ Do this WITH your support person if you can, because half this plan is for them. Print the birth plan when it’s done and pack two copies in the hospital bag.
Advanced instructions
If you are high risk (preeclampsia history, sickle cell, hypertension, diabetes, prior c-section, over 35), say so clearly in your answers and ask for an expanded warning signs section specific to your condition, confirmed with your provider. If you have a doula or midwife, mention them so the plan includes their role in the chain of advocacy. You can also rerun this after delivery to tighten up just the six-week postpartum watch plan.
Use this when
You are pregnant (any trimester, but ideally by month 6 or 7), or you are the partner, mother, sister, or best friend who is going to be in that room, and you want everybody ready before the big day instead of figuring it out in the moment.
