My name is Lisa, I'm expecting my first baby (a girl) on June 18th, 2026. I plan on giving birth at Langley Memorial Hospital. Labor plan is to wait for spontaneous labor to start, go unmedicated as possible, and to labor at home as long as possible. I don't have a doula or midwife and planned to rely on my husband to help support me through it. However, we just got word today that my husband was booked for a surgical procedure (PFO, to close a hole in his heart) scheduled for June 15th, 2026 in Vancouver (VGH) due to a stroke he suffered in August last year. With our daughter being due on June 18th, i feel like I've lost my biggest support for the birth. I'm hoping to connect with a provider that can help me when I'm in labor (at home and/or the hopsital) and be of some support that he would've given- helping with pain relief, hip squeezes, holding in different mobility positions etc. - things he can't do if he is recovering. I hope he is still able to be there at the hospital for when she's born, of course for his presence, affirmations, but mostly to simply have him there. But if it is on tht day or he is still on bed rest, then I want to have a backup. I would ask another family member, but I'm hoping a professional/birth doula would be equipped to help more on such short notice. I have no estimation on budget so I'm open to hearing what some rates are. Thank you so much!

My daughter-in-law, Angie, was admitted to BC Women's Hospital in Vancouver on May 9 with her two-week old baby. Angie has an infection and the hospital is trying to diagnose her. Nights in the hospital are difficult as the baby does not sleep much and the hospital staff are not very available. I am looking for someone who can stay overnight with Angie in the hospital every night until she is discharged.
