I plan to give birth at Sentara in Woodbridge but my OB’s office is in Stafford. I have Medicaid. I don’t have a birth plan but I’d like help creating one. I’ve had past miscarriages and this pregnancy has been healthy, but lonely and scary. I’d like the support of a doula for many reasons.

Status: 21 Weeks | First Pregnancy Insurance: United FAMIS Moms (Medicaid) Location: Stafford, VA ​I am 21 weeks into a high-risk pregnancy and am looking for a new doula to join my care team. After waiting 10 years for this miracle, I’ve spent this pregnancy navigating some very difficult hurdles and I’m really looking forward to finally having some peace and consistent support. ​My Journey So Far: ​Medical & Career Hurdles: Early delays in my medical care made it impossible to get work accommodations in time, which unfortunately led to me being fired. ​The "Shuffling" Challenge: I’ve seen 4 different doctors plus the ER since January. I’m often sent for labs without getting to discuss the results with the same provider. This lack of continuity is causing a lot of physical stress, and I’m looking for someone to help me stabilize this process. ​Communication Needs: I am transitioning from my current doula because I’ve realized I need a more "hands-on" style of communication. A 3-4 day wait for a reply has been difficult for me; I’m hoping to find someone who can check in more regularly and help me tackle specific tasks as they come up. ​What I’m Looking For in a Doula: ​A True Advocate: Someone to help me feel heard in the medical system and ensure my care plan is consistent. ​Goal-Oriented Support: I’m looking for someone who enjoys the "resource" side of birth work—helping find solutions for things like housing transitions, move-out volunteers, and medical coordination. ​Mandatory Requirements: ​Insurance: Please be a credentialed provider with United FAMIS Moms. I am unable to pay out-of-pocket at this time. ​Platform Messaging: Please message me here on BornBir so I can keep my notifications in one place!
