Hospital this is all new to me not sure I’m looking for guidance

First baby, giving birth at a hospital, planning to go unmedicated, budget is 2,500.

I plan to give birth in a **hospital** and am looking for a postpartum doula to support me during the first few weeks after delivery. I have not yet decided on a budget and am open to discussing rates based on the doula's experience and the services they provide. My birth plan is to have a **vaginal birth** and, if possible, I would like to have an **unmedicated labor and delivery**. I understand that birth can be unpredictable, and I am open to medical interventions if they become necessary for the safety of myself or my baby. I am looking for someone who can provide emotional support during the postpartum period, newborn education, and guidance as I adjust to becoming a first-time mom. I would prefer a postpartum doula who is **certified through a recognized organization**, has experience working with first-time parents, and is CPR and infant first aid certified. Kindness, patience, and strong communication skills are very important to me. The care recipient will be my **newborn baby**. I would appreciate help with newborn care, feeding support, diaper changes, soothing techniques, safe sleep practices, and helping establish healthy routines. I would also like assistance with **newborn sleep training/healthy sleep habits**, understanding normal newborn development, and building my confidence as a new parent.
