Rush hospital is where I plan to give birth (main campus). My estimated budget would be 1500-2000. My birth plan is still being developed. I know I would want an epidural and pain meds as I’m not good with pain. I don’t really want to be induced unless medically necessary. I would like to allow my body to naturally take its course. I don’t really want a lot of medical intervention aside from pain relief. I would like an experienced doula who is certified (at least 2 years experience). I’m mainly looking for a birth doula to support me during labor as I’m very anxious about giving birth for the first time. I would like someone who would advocate for me during this time, help with relaxation, pain techniques, birthing positions. I also feel like they could help my partner better support me as well. I have blue cross blue shield of Illinois PPO.
