Hello, I am looking into options for birth and postpartum doula support (I am supposed to have some coverage through Kaiser) for my second birth. Kaori

Kaiser for giving birth and I have medical insurance. This is also my first baby

Since this is my first time pregnancy I need someone who can help me with the birthing and preparing mentally and physically process throughout my pregnancy. I will be giving birth in a hospital. I want to give birth without being medicated. Estimated budget is 4,000. I am 32 and would like someone older than myself.

I need a midwife for my prenatal care. I would also like a doula.

This is my first pregnancy, and I am planning a hospital birth in the Bay Area. I am looking for a birth doula who can educate my husband and me about our options and help me develop a birth plan based on my goals and circumstances. I have not yet decided whether I want an epidural or an unmedicated birth, so I would like someone who provides balanced, evidence-based information without pushing one particular type of birth. During labor, I would like support with breathing, relaxation, movement, different labor and pushing positions, massage, counterpressure, and other comfort techniques. I also want someone who will actively involve my husband, teach him how to support me, and help both of us remain calm and understand what is happening. It would be helpful if the doula offered prenatal meetings to practice labor positions and comfort techniques and discuss interventions such as induction, epidurals, assisted delivery, and Cesarean birth. Experience supporting hospital births, inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, and unexpected changes is important to me. I am also interested in pregnancy-safe exercises and pelvic-floor and birth preparation. Please let me know if this is part of your training and services, or if you collaborate with a pelvic-floor physical therapist. I am looking for someone warm, practical, nonjudgmental, and comfortable helping me ask questions and communicate my preferences to the medical team while remaining flexible if the safest plan changes.
