Привет, Ирина! Меня зовут Ирода Я беременна, сейчас 20 недель и планирую роды в США Хочу узнать про ваши услуги доулы: присутствие при родах и поддержка после. Хотела бы обсудить, как вы работаете, стоимость и что входит.

I plan to give birth at the Evanston NorthShore Labor/Delivery Hospital. I am on Medicaid but I wouldn’t want to spend more than 300$ out of pocket. I want to birth as natural as possible, I wouldn’t want an epidural unless it really comes down to it. I would want to avoid any cutting or tearing in my vagina. I’d like to push out naturally rather than get a C- section.

Hospital birth, unsure of budget, unsure of birth plan

I am doing a home birth and I already have a provider. They require me to have a Doula. I am wondering if there is someone in network with my insurance BCBS PPO

I plan to give birth at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. I am looking for a supportive and experienced midwife who can help guide me through a natural birth. My goal is to have as natural of a labor and delivery as possible, using breathing techniques, movement, and positioning to manage pain. Medical interventions would be my last resort, but I understand they may be necessary if there are safety concerns for me or my baby. I would like someone who is patient, encouraging, and communicates well so I feel supported and calm throughout the process. My budget is flexible depending on the services provided.

1- Sherman or CDH 2- 1500 3- natural if situation allows and with proper guidance.

I'm considering a home birth, my budget is 2k, and I'd like to just stay home without medication so I'll need mental/emotional/physical guidance for comfort measures.

Hi! I wanted to share a little about the support I’m hoping for during labor. I’d really like to try for an unmedicated birth if possible, so having help with breathing, positioning, and counter pressure during contractions would mean a lot. My priorities are being able to move freely, delivering in the position I choose, delayed cord clamping, and keeping interventions minimal if everything is safe. I’d also love a calm, dark, peaceful environment. My pregnancy has IUGR, so there’s a chance I may need to deliver earlier than expected. I’m hoping for someone who can support me emotionally, help advocate for me if needed, and also guide my partner on how he can best support me during labor. I’m planning to use Medicaid/Blue Cross Community if possible, and I also wanted to ask if it would be possible to be matched with a Caucasian doula for my own comfort. Thank you! 🤍

I am planning to give birth at a hospital. I’m looking for a doula who can provide emotional support, help with breathing and relaxation, suggest different labor positions, and offer comfort measures like massage or counter-pressure. My goal is to have a calm and positive birth experience with supportive guidance during labor. I have Blue Cross community plan Medicare insurance. 😊

I’m a first-time mom planning a hospital birth, and I’m looking for a doula who can help guide me through the process and options, especially since I’m still figuring out what I want my birth plan to look like. I’m feeling a bit torn between wanting to stay mobile during labor and pushing in a position other than on my back, while also considering the possibility of an epidural. I’d love support understanding how those options can work together and what flexibility looks like in a hospital setting. I’m also looking for help with lactation and postpartum feeding. I want to breastfeed but am planning to combo feed, and I’d really appreciate guidance on how to do that in a way that supports my milk supply and feels manageable as a first-time mom. Overall, I’m hoping for someone who can educate me, help me feel confident in my choices, advocate for me during labor if needed, and support me both during birth and in the early postpartum period.
