im planning to give birth at home with a budget of 4000

I am expecting my first baby! I plan to give birth at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, although I’m also open to a birthing center if I could find one nearby. I’m currently living in Chicago but looking to move closer to my parents in Frankfort/Mokena/New Lenox area. I have no idea what a budget should be. I don’t have a birth plan yet, but I’d like as little intervention as possible, and I’d like a natural birth. I really would like someone to help guide me through my pregnancy to prepare for a safe, comfortable, and intervention-free labor. I am very interested in homeopathic and holistic medicine and health.

Support, in person visits, someone by my side!!!!!

I would like to change to a home birth last minute. If a water birth is possible as well, that would be preferred. But I do not want to give birth in a hospital again.

I’m looking for a kind, patient, and supportive doula who will help me feel calm and confident throughout labor and delivery. This is an important experience for me, and I’d like someone who will advocate for my wishes, provide emotional encouragement, and offer comfort measures such as breathing techniques, massage, position changes, and relaxation support. I would like a doula who respects my birth preferences, communicates well with my medical team, and also supports my partner or family members during labor. I want someone who creates a positive, peaceful environment and helps me feel informed and empowered throughout the entire process. Postpartum support and breastfeeding guidance would also be appreciated if available. * I’m hoping for an unmedicated birth, or I’d like support even if I choose an epidural or need a C-section.

For now I’m just looking… it’s my first pregnancy and Ngl I’m scared I just want to see if it’s something we can afford
