Find Childbirth Educator Jobs in Arlington Heights, IL

Hospital first time birth. $1000 budget or less. Birth plan not made yet but plan to do the least intrusive to no intervention/medication possible

I would like a doula who can help educate me on all my options around birth and how to best prepare for that. I'd also like them to be present when I'm giving birth, and potentially post partum care. I'm giving birth at Central Dupage Hospital. I learned today that my insurance plan covers doulas that are in-network, so ideally they would be in-network with BCBSIL. I don't know my birth plan, I would like help figuring that out.

I plan to give birth at home using a water birth, budget is $100-$1500. Doula should have at least 4 years of experience and an elderly doula would be preferred

Plan to give birth in a hospital due to no local birth center. I am unaware how much a doula cost. I want to do fully unmedicated if possible! I am 27 my boyfriend is 30. I am hoping to be able to build a connection to ask questions and learn about my body during and after pregnancy.

For now I’m just looking… it’s my first pregnancy and Ngl I’m scared I just want to see if it’s something we can afford
