Objective: to validate the textual and visual content of a care-educational technology on best practices in labor and delivery aimed at pregnant women and their companions. Method: Development and innovation research. Stages: content selection, creation of the game’s narrative consisting of the synthesis of evidence and obstetric recommendations, production of the images and the game. Content validation was carried out by 15 experts selected through the snowball sampling technique, using an online survey. The analysis was carried out according to the Content Validity Index. Results: the digital interactive story game “Our Choices, Our Childbirth” was made up of 24 illustrations and texts on prenatal care, birth plans, non-pharmacological pain relief methods, freedom of movement, and non-recommended practices. The Content Validity Index was 0,93, and the experts’ suggestions were met. Conclusion: the game fosters female empowerment, promotes best practices and enables the reconsideration of the obstetrical model of care.
