Find Childbirth Educator Jobs in Blaine, MN

I would just like to be educated on how to give birth and educated on childbirth and just a support system I plan on giving birth at the hospital

I plan to give birth in a hospital, I am going on MA so would like a doula that is covered by MA. I want to try to stay natural with birth, it is my first time giving birth so I want to get educated on what’s best for my body so it goes as smooth and healthy as possible.

I would prefer a child birth center or home birth. I would like to birth in natural positions and use gravity to help with pushing. I would prefer female staff to be in the room during birthing process. I would prefer no epidural, and use natural home remedies for pain.

I will be giving birth at United Hospital. I have health partners insurance through the state, so any services would need to be covered by insurance. I am hoping for as natural of a birth as possible with as few interventions as possible however, I am a high risk pregnancy due to type one diabetes. (my diabetes is decently well controlled and is not the same as type two diabetes.) I had a lot of trauma from my last birthing experience, I didn’t know my rights and the doctors were VERY controlling and even forceful with me.

Im working with mn birth center in st.paul and they said I need to find a dula. And I guess they have to be willing to come to my house as well. Im trying to also find someone who works with BCBS

My current plan is to deliver at Saint Francis Hospital, but I am open to other suggestions. I heard the Scheduler say that they are going through a lot of changes which makes me nervous. Being in the healthcare field, I know that patient care gets overlooked when these changes are happening. I do not know the average cost of Doula services. Am I able to use an HSA plan? My requirements for the provider is that they have assisted in 20 or more births. I would like them to be a good teacher as I like to learn about the process. I have done one of my physical therapy clinicals as a physical therapist and pelvic health and would like to understand what my body is going through from a personal perspective. My birth plan is in the process of being created. Ideally, as little intervention as possible. I don’t want to rule out use of pain medication‘s as I have no idea how I’ll feel on the day of labor, however, most of the people I know who have gotten an epidural look back in regret it due to it stalling and /or slowing their labor. I need somebody who can take the responsibility off of my husband too help me navigate those decisions on the day of. I just want him to be able to be present and help me.
