Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Albany, OR

I plan on giving birth at Bella Vie birthing center outside of Salem, OR. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. My birth plan is to have a natural birth.

I plan to give birth at the Salem Hospital. I plan to use insurance I am covered by Moda Health through PEBB. I am planning for an unmediated natural birth. I do not want to take the epidural.

I plan on having a hospital birth, I want to go as natural birth as possible.

I planning to give birth at the hospital as the midwife I see only delivers there. I have Trillium OHP and want to get a doula that is covered under that. I dont have a set birth plan yet as I am still in my first trimester, but would like help with that as well. So far through research, I know I do want to try for an unmedicated birth, I want as little medical intervention as possible, I dont want to be overcrowded with staff in the room, I dont want constant fetal monitoring unless it is emergency situation, I want to be able to freely move around while i am contracting to be able to listen and help my body, I dont want to give birth in my back unless my body tells me too, I dont want constant cervix checks unless its an emergency, I will labor at home for as long as possible before going to hospital, I want delayed cord clamping, I want immediate skin to skin with baby and for the father and space for us to experience baby when it arrives. I want a doula that has more than 5 years of experience especially with first time moms I would prefer someone who is in there 30s but not required. I really am just looking to have someone who is educated and familiar with unmedicated births and to be that extra support for me during birth and can be a calm guide for me and my boyfriend during this amazing experience :)

I am currently a surrogate for a gay couple, so someone comfortable with and accepting of the LGBTQ+ community is a must. This is my second pregnancy, but my first was in 2014 when I was only 19/20 years old, so I feel like I’m doing this all for the first time. I’d like to attempt as natural and intervention-free delivery as I can (but I am not fully against an epidural if truly needed). The plan is to deliver at Providence Newberg, unless something suggests that baby might need to be close to the NICU, in which case we would deliver at Providence Saint Vincent. I have a budget through the surrogacy plan of $2,000 but also have insurance through Blue shield and Providence, if anyone accepts insurance plans
