Looking for a labor doula. Would have a hospital birth. 1st baby.

I plan to give birth at Howard County General Hospital that is connected with Johns Hopkins. My OB is through Capital Women's Care in Fulton/Maple Lawn, and the OBs rotate there. I had a c-section December 2022, and I believe I was pressured into this when it was unnecessary based on speaking with doctors, friends, and family since. I want a VBAC. I do not have a large budget. I'm trying to figure out how my doulas cost. My family is willing to help a little thankfully. I'm guestimating my budget is $2k. I want someone that will advocate for me, encourage me, and help me to have a VBAC, as last time I was continually pressured to have, and my husband could not advocate for me to keep going and trying. I felt guilty about his anxieties for me, which led me to take an unnecessary and harder process of the c-section, and ended up being much scarier for both of us.

Hello, My name is Karen, and I’d love to know if you are currently accepting Medicaid clients and if you would be available to attend a birth at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, MD. I’d also like to learn more about what is included in your doula services for Medicaid clients. If it’s easier, I’d be happy to schedule a call to talk more about your services and availability.
