Birth plan creation and day of delivery support
Hospital birth, as unmedicated as possible but open to epidural and nitrous oxide use as needed.
I plan to give birth in the hospital in case there are any medical emergencies with me being high risk (I’m 37). My insurance should pay for this. I don’t currently have a birth plan, as I’m only 10 weeks and am doing this alone.
Labor Support: I would like my husband,, to be with me at all times during my hospital stay and present for any and all procedures from hospital admission through discharge. No AROM: I would like to allow my water to break naturally if possible. Please no artificial rupture of membranes unless medically necessary. No Pitocin: Please no Pitocin unless medically necessary. Ok with small amount post-birth. Minimal Vaginal Exams: Vaginal exams only upon my express consent. Please limit exams to the absolute minimum. No Students/Interns: I do not wish for students or interns to observe or participate in my care at this time. No Male Staff: No male staff present in room at all times. No Time Limits: I would like to be allowed to progress without stringent time limits, in the absence of fetal distress or a true medical emergency. Delayed Pushing: I would like to “labor down” until I feel the urge to push. Choice of Positions: I would like to be given a choice to push in whatever position feels most comfortable (such as side lying, squatting, semi-sitting, or on hands and knees) No Episiotomy: No episiotomy without my express consent. I prefer to tear naturally if necessary. No Instrumental Delivery: Please do not use a vacuum extractor or forceps without my express consent. Newborn Procedures No Separation from Infant: I do not consent to my baby being separated from me at any time. In the event of a true medical emergency requiring separation, my partner will remain with the baby at all times. Immediate Skin-to-Skin: Following birth, please immediately place baby on my chest. Delayed Cord Clamping: Delay All Procedures: Please delay all newborn procedures until baby and I have had time to bond. Please perform all necessary procedures in my presence and while baby is in my arms. Breastfeeding: I plan to exclusively breastfeed if possible. If formula is needed, organic is preferable if available.
Hello, I am looking for a birth doula for my second pregnancy. I am planning on doing a homebirth again and need someone well versed in mood setting, efficient movement during labor and multiple different types of comfort tools for laboring.
I plan to give birth a the hospital. I am covered by Tricare Prime TriWest for a doula. I have no interest in paying out-of-pocket. Please only respond if you are accepting Tricare prime. I want to discuss a birthing plan because I am new to all of this.
I plan to give birth in a hospital, most likely within the Texas Health hospital system near Lancaster, Texas. I am currently early in my pregnancy and want to build my care team as soon as possible so everything is established well in advance. My estimated budget is flexible depending on experience, services offered, and whether insurance is accepted. Ideally, I would like to stay within a reasonable range, but I am willing to invest more for the right provider who aligns with my birth goals and provides strong support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I would appreciate transparency in pricing and payment options. I have TRICARE Select and would prefer a provider who accepts TRICARE or can provide documentation for reimbursement. My birth plan is very important to me. I want a family-centered, supportive, and calm environment. I plan to have my husband, my children, my mom, and my sister present during delivery. I want delayed cord clamping for as long as medically safe, and it is very important to me that my husband is able to cut the cord. I prefer minimal interventions unless medically necessary, and I want a provider who respects my voice, explains everything clearly, and supports informed decision-making. I am open to pain management options but want to feel in control of my experience. For provider requirements, I am looking for someone who is certified (doula certification required if applicable), experienced (preferably several years working with births), and comfortable working in a hospital setting. Experience with military families or TRICARE patients is a huge plus. Strong communication, a calming presence, and the ability to advocate for me during labor are very important. If a second language is spoken, that is a bonus but not required. The care recipient is myself. I am currently in my first trimester. This is not my first pregnancy, so I am familiar with the process, but I want a more supported and intentional experience this time. No special medical needs at this time, but I do want guidance throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. Additional duties I would like support with include emotional support during pregnancy, labor coaching, assistance with comfort measures, and postpartum check-ins. Light guidance with newborn care is appreciated, but I am not looking for full-time newborn care, sleep training, or housekeeping services. Overall, I am looking for someone who feels like a true support system, not just a service. I want to feel heard, respected, and cared for throughout this entire journey.

I need a doula for labor and delivery of my first child
Planning a hospital birth Budget 1,000-3,99 Because this is an IVF pregnancy, I am looking for a doula who understands the emotional significance of this journey and will provide compassionate, continuous support. I value informed consent and would like all procedures, interventions, and newborn care options explained before decisions are made whenever possible. My goal is a low-intervention birth with freedom to move during labor, use natural comfort measures, minimal cervical checks when appropriate, delayed cord clamping, immediate skin-to-skin contact, and uninterrupted bonding time after birth. I would prefer to avoid induction solely for convenience or to speed up labor and do not want to feel pressured into a cesarean birth unless it is medically necessary. I would also like time to discuss and make informed decisions regarding newborn procedures and injections, rather than having them performed immediately after birth. Most importantly, I am looking for a calm, knowledgeable, evidence-based doula who will help me feel respected, empowered, and supported throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.
