Hi! This is my first pregnancy and delivery. I am planning to give birth at Advent Health’s UChicago at Hinsdale. I was looking for doula services that would be covered by my Medicaid’s BCBS Community health insurance. My hope is to have a vaginal delivery. I believe a doula can be my source of the much needed guidance, assistance, and strength I’ll require experiencing labor and delivery for the first time. I really look forward to matching with a sweet, supportive, and knowledgeable doula that can calm my nerves and make my birthing experience much better. Thank you!!

Hi Parul! I am looking for a birth doula that is ideally open to in-home and hospital support. I plan to labor at home for as much as possible before transferring to the hospital. Hope to hear from you soon! - Brenna Jacobs 925-997-0492

Di-di twins delivering at Northwestern in Chicago. Looking for post partum doula / night nurse capabilities for a provider that accepts BCBS insurance (I had medical necessity but have struggled to find provider). 38 years old and delivered previous two children without an epidural and with the support of a doula.

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! 🤍

Looking to give birth at Prentice Women's Hospital in the city. I'd like to go a mostly natural birthing route, but would like the hospital environment for the "just in case" piece of birth. I am a first time mom and my husband and I want someone who we can get to know well, and who will spend time with us answering all of our questions. We have vaccine questions, we want to do delayed cord clamping, we would like a vaginal birth (unless dangerous for me or baby), we would like skin to skin immediately, we would like to try to not be induced if that's possible. I'm not needing a fully unmedicated birth but want to go as long as possible without any epidural or any intervention of that sort.

1. prentice, Northwestern. 2. Insurance covered? 3. Second baby boy. Low stress birth plan.

I would like a doula who can help educate me on all my options around birth and how to best prepare for that. I'd also like them to be present when I'm giving birth, and potentially post partum care. I'm giving birth at Central Dupage Hospital. I learned today that my insurance plan covers doulas that are in-network, so ideally they would be in-network with BCBSIL. I don't know my birth plan, I would like help figuring that out.

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 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 am currently planning to give birth at cdh. I’m not sure what an appropriate budget for a doula is so I guess I’m interested in rates. I’d hope to not go over a thousand dollars but like I said I don’t know what is appropriate. I’d like to give birth with the least amount of interventions possible. I will be doing a vbac labor, my first baby will be 2 and 2 months at the date of the delivery and was a cesarían because she was breech presenting.

I would need a birth double at the hospital. And maybe a session or 2 before and after birth. I don’t have a birth plan yet.

I plan on giving birth at the CDH Hospital. I don’t know what my budget is at this time. My birth plan is a successful VBAC birth since my first baby was breech.

May consider other services as well 3) VBAC, avoid c-section (very traumatic), open to all pain relief options but want epidural to be the last resort, open to medical interventions if other suggestions (walking, taking a shower, peanut ball, or different laboring positions) don't work
