I am a first time mom planning to give birth in the hospital with an epidural. Other than that, I have very limited knowledge on the whole process and that is why I’m looking for someone.
Hospital $500 I planning to have a smooth vaginal delivery with minimum to no interventions.
I am looking for a doula/midwife who can support my natural/physiological birth plan and who can advocate for me within the hospital setting. I want to be free to move around during labor, possibly use a labor tub, push with my contractions instead of purple pushing, and deliver my placenta naturally. I would prefer a doula/midwife who I knowledgeable about hospital policies and feels comfortable advocating my wishes while I am focused on breathing through contractions.

Midwife birthing center birth Delayed cord clamping 400-1000$
I plan to give birth in a hospital, most likely within the Texas Health hospital system near Lancaster, Texas. I am currently early in my pregnancy and want to build my care team as soon as possible so everything is established well in advance. My estimated budget is flexible depending on experience, services offered, and whether insurance is accepted. Ideally, I would like to stay within a reasonable range, but I am willing to invest more for the right provider who aligns with my birth goals and provides strong support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I would appreciate transparency in pricing and payment options. I have TRICARE Select and would prefer a provider who accepts TRICARE or can provide documentation for reimbursement. My birth plan is very important to me. I want a family-centered, supportive, and calm environment. I plan to have my husband, my children, my mom, and my sister present during delivery. I want delayed cord clamping for as long as medically safe, and it is very important to me that my husband is able to cut the cord. I prefer minimal interventions unless medically necessary, and I want a provider who respects my voice, explains everything clearly, and supports informed decision-making. I am open to pain management options but want to feel in control of my experience. For provider requirements, I am looking for someone who is certified (doula certification required if applicable), experienced (preferably several years working with births), and comfortable working in a hospital setting. Experience with military families or TRICARE patients is a huge plus. Strong communication, a calming presence, and the ability to advocate for me during labor are very important. If a second language is spoken, that is a bonus but not required. The care recipient is myself. I am currently in my first trimester. This is not my first pregnancy, so I am familiar with the process, but I want a more supported and intentional experience this time. No special medical needs at this time, but I do want guidance throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. Additional duties I would like support with include emotional support during pregnancy, labor coaching, assistance with comfort measures, and postpartum check-ins. Light guidance with newborn care is appreciated, but I am not looking for full-time newborn care, sleep training, or housekeeping services. Overall, I am looking for someone who feels like a true support system, not just a service. I want to feel heard, respected, and cared for throughout this entire journey.
My birthing center requires to hire a doula for first timers, not sure how expensive that is, someone on the holistic side that understands how we want to parent and advocate for us.
