Find Childbirth Educator Jobs in Evanston, IL

Hospital first time birth. $1000 budget or less. Birth plan not made yet but plan to do the least intrusive to no intervention/medication possible

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 plan to give birth at home using a water birth, budget is $100-$1500. Doula should have at least 4 years of experience and an elderly doula would be preferred

Plan to give birth in a hospital due to no local birth center. I am unaware how much a doula cost. I want to do fully unmedicated if possible! I am 27 my boyfriend is 30. I am hoping to be able to build a connection to ask questions and learn about my body during and after pregnancy.

I really wanted to be educated about birth practices and be guided in the natural but safe process of having a baby in hospital but someone I can trust to help me advocate for certain practices not to be rushed. I plan on giving birth at crown point Franciscan via VBAC I HAVE Indiana MEDICAID so whatever they would cover I want some medical intervention but I want help practicing different techniques that I can use to help me through the birth process without as much medical intervention. I really don’t want to be rushed through this process and miss vital things that could give amazing benefits for my baby or cause more harm or trauma to me. I would like someone who has several years experience with guiding moms though birth in a hospital setting vs just home birth with history of c section
