This is my first pregnancy. I want to have all the tools necessary to manage pain at home as much as possible until I absolutely need to go to the hospital.

First time mom, I need help with child birth and postpartum assistance.

postpartum help for the first 5–10 days after birth.

My husband is Haitian this is his first child but he doesn’t speak English and I’m afraid he won’t understand my needs when communicating with nurses and staff during delivery. I’m due in July I need someone who speaks our language. I just plan on heading immediately to hospital when it’s time. I live really close to Melrose Wakefield where I am being seen. I need to know also if insurance would cover this

We have three kids with a fourth arriving in July. We are experienced parents, but TIRED and looking for help during birth and in the first 2-3 months after birth at night. I breastfeed and it normally falls on me at night, but my husband does help with diapers and non feeding needs overnight. Birth plan: have a healthy baby. That's looked different for all three kids, so we are open minded. Hospital: we aren't sure yet, but ideally a hospital with a robust NNICU

LABOR & BIRTH PLAN (HOSPITAL) I am planning a hospital birth and desire the most natural, physiologic birth possible. My goal is an unmedicated vaginal birth. I wish to avoid a cesarean section and would like to decline epidural anesthesia, Pitocin induction or augmentation, and other routine interventions unless medically necessary. Please do not offer epidural or Pitocin unless I specifically request them. I prefer a calm, low-intervention environment with limited people in the room. I do not consent to students or unnecessary staff being present. I request minimal cervical exams, performed only when clinically necessary rather than on a routine schedule. I prefer intermittent fetal monitoring rather than continuous monitoring, as continuous monitoring is not necessary in a low-risk pregnancy and may increase the likelihood of unnecessary interventions. After birth, I request immediate and uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with my baby. I request delayed cord clamping until the umbilical cord is white and limp, allowing for full placental blood transfer to support oxygenation, circulation, and iron stores. I request a full golden hour after birth with no routine exams, weighing, or procedures, and for nonessential staff to leave the room to allow uninterrupted bonding. I do not consent to controlled cord traction or routine fundal massage unless there is excessive bleeding or a medical indication. I am declining erythromycin eye ointment, as I have tested negative for gonorrhea and chlamydia. I plan to delay the Vitamin K injection until after the golden hour and initial bonding. I request that no Vitamin K be administered without my explicit consent, and that I be asked before any timing or administration. My goal is an informed, respectful birth with shared decision-making and evidence-based care.

I’m currently looking for a doula and would love to connect with someone who feels like the right fit for this very special moment. I’m relatively new to the U.S., and I don’t have my family with me, so finding someone who can offer emotional support and a comforting presence is really important to me. Speaking Spanish would be a big plus, as it helps me feel more grounded and connected during such an intimate experience. I will be giving birth at a hospital, and my birth plan is still evolving. I trust that my body knows what to do, and I’m leaning toward a natural and intuitive approach, while staying flexible depending on how everything unfolds. My budget is open for discussion, and I’d love to learn more about your packages and what they include. Photography is not a requirement, but it would be a beautiful extra if you're someone who enjoys capturing special moments—having a few meaningful photos of the experience would feel very special to me. If you feel we might be a good match, I’d love to chat and hear more about your work and philosophy!
