- hospital birth with epidural - under $2k budget - looking for help with birthing plan, birth and post partum care
Hospital with minimum/ low interventions. No birth plan yet and budget of $1500
I plan to give birth in the hospital in case there are any medical emergencies with me being high risk (I’m 37). My insurance should pay for this. I don’t currently have a birth plan, as I’m only 10 weeks and am doing this alone.
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.
I will give birth at Texas Health Harris Downtown Fort Worth. I will need help with breastfeeding afterwards too. If they specialize in VBACs, that would be great!

I currently have an OBGYN that does accept my medicaid. I had a c section with my daughter in 2022, and I really want to try for a vaginal birth. My OBGYN and I are not connecting as I would like and I did more research and feel better finding a mid wife or doula that I can connect with and listen to my wants and needs. I appreciate it! I plan on giving birth in a hospital setting. have medicaid health insurance. I believe its a cooks childrens plan but I would need to double check.
