This is my fist child and I’m inexperienced, uneducated and I want the best birth possible. I stay in Columbia, South Carolina.
I would like to do a home birth using Tricare insurance coverage upfront only. There is a possibility of postpartum/ night nurse assistance at a later time. Not entirely sure of a "plan" beyond that. Unfortunately, I'm not starting my journey where I'm ending, but attempting to get the ball rolling and start gathering some options to set up interviews when we have hard dates. Thank you for you patience in advance.
1. Plan on giving birth at home 2. Not sure my budget I need pricing 3. I'd like to have a home birth with minimal hospital intervention
I’ll be giving birth at Lexington Medical Center. I’m not sure what to budget since ideally part of it should be covered with insurance but we are open to paying a little bit if necessary! My birth plan is to labor as long as possible then get an epidural and deliver vaginally. I also plan on laboring a little bit at home before heading to hospital. I want to do everything possible to naturally progress labor before the epidural and during the epidural (peanut ball, position changes). Then also want to wait until I get the urge to push rather than pushing immediately at 10cm and end up having to push for hours and hours. We just need a labor doula, and if they were able to provide lactation support in the hospital that’d be great but not required. Would love for them to have medical background and if they are Christian that is a plus! We have Tricare Select insurance.
I’m looking for a doula who will help me during childbirth, help me understand how everything will happen and have a healthy, peaceful and amazing delivery.
Plan to give birth at home. $3,000 Water birth at home.
Planning on giving birth at Prisma Health Parkridge with midwife group. Budget is around $800-$1000 total. My birth plan mainly is to have as little medication as possible. However, I have gone two weeks over for both previous pregnancies and had to be induced both times. I did end up getting epidurals with both. I would like someone who can give me lots of ideas for managing pain during labor. I have some ideas but I always seem to run out of coping strategies. Would like DONA certified doula.

Home birth , wants to nurse, 3499 budget, 40 years old
I plan to give birth in a hospital in Irmo,SC. I am hoping insurance will cover portion of cost. I plan on immediate skin to skin contact, no cleaning/bathing, delayed cord clamping, delayed shots and eye ointment. It is crucial that I get the first 2 hours with my baby alone unless medically necessary.
Hey I plan to give birth in Sumter Sc at the hospital
I'm exploring my birth options, leaning towards a home birth but also considering the hospital for safety and cost-effectiveness. My budget is a concern, and I'm relying on my insurance to help. More than anything, I want a healthy baby and to save for their future. I'm also focused on preparing my home, especially with my two small dogs, to ensure it's a safe and welcoming environment for the baby.
