The charity Disability, Pregnancy and Parenthood International, based at the National Centre for Disabled Parents, is creating the documents.
The Empowering Parents project will be launched on 14 July at a meeting for disabled parents and professionals such as midwives.
Shanta Everington, information officer for Empowering Parents, said: "We want to find out from parents and from professionals working with parents what they would like to see included in the guides. We would like to learn from the experiences of disabled parents who have already been through maternity services to see what gaps there are."
The meeting will ask the disabled parents to recall how easy it was for them to find relevant information during or just after pregnancy, whether the information they received was appropriate and what else they would have liked to find out.
