I’m looking for an affordable postpartum doula who can provide 20-60 hrs of care

I am currently looking for a birth doula to help support my husband and I while birthing our first child. Due to a previous back injury I am not a good candidate for an epidural and so am looking for someone to support me in an unmedicated birth. My nursing care team has been excellent at providing me multiple options and I am looking for someone who can support me in successfully delivering using natural methods. I am also looking for someone who can also support husband as well as he is amazing and wants to know confidently when best to offer certain help. Our budget is fairly flexible as having a doula is extremely important to our family. Currently we are planning to birth at Beacon in Kalamazoo so if you are able to be at that hospital that would be ideal.

We plan to give birth at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Unsure about budget. Unsure about birth plan. We are so new to this.

I require any provider who works with me during my birth and pregnancy to have a minimum of 2 years experience. And understand that all women’s body’s are different. I have chronic illnesses and my pregnancy and a bit different from others. Especially when it comes to what I can do and what it has done to my body. I want a licensed midwife. That is non negotiable. I only speak English so there is no need for another language or any translation. I do have a processing disorder and tend not to understand if people speak to fast so someone with patience and the ability to see you as someone giving life to the world not just another pay check. I expect my birth doulas to not push personal preferences onto me seeings as how I have a specific goal and plan in mind. Asking questions and figuring out any loose ends is different but a no is a no. That goes for anyone who works with me. For a night nanny, the responsibility’s would be, laundry, dishes, light cleaning. I will be Breast feeding so i will have a frozen stash. If I am up I will use my Breast and store the rest. Apart of the night nanny job will be preparing meal preps once or twice a week. That includes, dinners for the week. Which you can either do all together or cut in half and do half the week at a time. It will also include snack prepping. I cannot have 3 full meals a day and often are required to snack and I need to be able to go to the fridge or cab it’s and have Tupperware with already made snack options. Here’s an example Fridge: Tupperware organizer with, Apple and peanut butter, with a sour candy and cheese slices Pantry: trail mix, dried fruit, mini chocolate. As you can see I have a bit of a sweet tooth lol. Our night nanny’s are required to have all CPR, First aid and child care certificates needed. Along with being the minimum age of 21. All food in the house will be open to you. We don’t expect you to haul in your own food when working at night of all things.

home birth/birthing center delivery, low budget, unmedicated

I plan to birth at Cameron hospital. I am hoping to attempt a vbac after having my first baby in June last year. I’d love to attempt to go unmediated again for this delivery, as it was my original goal with my first. I’m looking for someone that can really help me and my husband know what to do to help labor along and provide us with support as our first labor experience wasn’t great. We’ve never had a doula before but I’d say our budget is around $800-$1,000.
