Obstetric documentation processes may influence the clinical, behavioural, and psychological outcomes of pregnancy, although recent alterations to integrate obstetric documentation with pregnancy handheld records have been unsuccessful. Woman‐held records as a companion to usual obstetric documentation have the potential to improve pregnancy‐related health behaviours with a demonstrated association with maternal and infant health outcomes, and recommendations for their format and content are provided.
