Plan to give birth at a hospital (L&M hospital in New London), tricare select covers doulas so hopefully I can find a doula that’s covered by our health insurance. My first was a very long induced labor, about 56 hours and I pushed for 3 hours. Ended up having a c section and would love to try a vbac this time around.

I plan to give birth in a hospital. My budget for a doula is 2k. My birth plan would be to labor at home for a while and then drive to Manchester memorial hospital to give birth because I believe they are the most vba2c supportive in Connecticut with the midwives affiliated there.

Hi! I'm Sarah. My husband, Caleb, and I are excited to be welcoming our second baby this November. We live in Worthington, Massachusetts, after recently moving back from Florida, where I was born and raised. Caleb grew up here in western Massachusetts, so we're happy to be closer to his family as we continue growing ours. Our first birth was a home birth that ended in an unplanned C-section, and while I'm incredibly thankful for my son and for the medical care that was available when we needed it, I'm really hoping to have a successful VBAC this time. Avoiding another cesarean is very important to me if it can be done safely, so I'm looking for a doula who is experienced with VBACs and can provide steady, knowledgeable support throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. After my son's birth, I also struggled with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. This time around, I'm hoping that building a stronger support system before birth will help me have a healthier and more positive postpartum experience. I'm looking for someone who can not only support me during labor but also provide encouragement and guidance as our family adjusts after baby arrives. Things like helping clean the kitchen, keeping up with laundry, preparing freezer meals for our family, watching the baby when I need an extra hand, and help with breastfeeding since I really want to be successful in that this time around. More than anything, we're looking for a doula who is compassionate, encouraging, and committed to helping us make informed decisions while creating the best possible birth experience for our growing family.

Hi ! My name is Nadia. I'm expecting my first baby on December 19th and I'm looking for a birth doula. We live in Easton and I'll be delivering at Yale New Haven's Bridgeport campus, with Women's Obstetrics & Gynecology in Trumbull. What I'm hoping for: a medicated hospital birth. I'm not trying for an unmedicated delivery and I'd rather not be talked into one— I want someone who is fully on board with an epidural and will help me get the best version of that experience rather than treat it as a fallback. Some context on where my pregnancy stands, because it shapes what I need: I'm 35, I have PCOS with insulin resistance, and my glucose screening is still ahead of me. At my anatomy scan we learned the umbilical cord attaches near the edge of the placenta rather than the center (marginal cord insertion, 1.8 cm). Because of that I'm on serial growth scans. At my most recent one, at 24w6d, the baby's estimated weight had dropped from the 52nd percentile to the 18th, with her abdominal measurement falling further than the rest. Fluid is normal and she doesn't meet criteria for growth restriction, but we're watching the trend closely and I'm pushing for shorter intervals between scans. What that means practically is that there's a real chance of a smaller baby, a possible early delivery, and more monitoring and decision points than a typical labor. I'd like someone who is comfortable in that environment. What I'm looking for in a doula: Someone who can help me keep track of what's happening medically and translate it in the moment so I understand what I'm agreeing to when decisions come quickly and advocate for me in real time where I might be physically/emotionally compromised. Help with labor positions, including after an epidural. If the baby ends up in a difficult position I'd love someone with Spinning Babies training or similar. My two biggest fears, honestly: First, being separated from my baby after delivery. Given the growth situation there's a chance she needs extra observation, and the thought of her being taken somewhere I want to avoid at all costs. I want help protecting skin-to-skin and the first hour wherever it's medically possible, and I want someone who knows how to ask the right questions and push back (within reason) if a separation is proposed. Second, the epidural not working or only working on one side. I want someone who can help me cope if there's a gap and who will keep pressing for anesthesia to come back and fix it rather than letting it ride. A few practical questions: Do you have experience specifically at Bridgeport Yale? What's your backup arrangement if you're at another birth when I go into labor, and have I met that person? Do you offer any postpartum hours, and are you available for December? My husband and I would love to talk. Thank you for reading all of this!
