-Plan to give birth at Brigham and Womens Hospital. -Natural Birth, avoid intervention if not medically needed, delayed cord clamping. -Avoid unnecessary vaccination

I am early on in navigating my first pregnancy. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial in Worcester, but I live in Charlton, MA. I am interested in having a birth doula and ideally the same candidate to help when we transition to home life for a few hours. I’m interested in having an unmediated birth, however I am aware that reality might have a different thought. Movement is a necessity for me. I have a wonderful partner, and would like to complement my support team with someone who can help me transition through labor stages as well as navigate the relationship between doctors/nurses.

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently looking for a birth doula for my October delivery. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of 10/14. I’m planning to deliver at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence with the midwives at the birthing center, and I’m based in Mansfield, MA. I’m looking for a doula who is experienced with Women & Infants and supportive of a midwife-led birth experience. This is my first baby and pregnancy, so looking for all the advice and support! I have United Healthcare through Harvard Pilgrim, so I’d also love to know whether you accept this insurance, offer reimbursement support, or can provide a superbill. If you have October availability, I’d love to learn more about your services, experience, pricing, and whether you offer a consultation call. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Kelsey

Doula with birth plan services

1. Beth Israel Boston 2. 3k 3. Currently in the early stages of creating a birth plan. I want to avoid a c-section if possible. My mother is no longer with us and having that extra female support is what I am looking for. Especially in the room during delivery.

I have no idea on any of this. A friend had a baby 6 months ago and highly recommended this and I am hoping to get pregnant this November

I’m planning to give birth at Sturdy hospital in Attleboro MA. My budget is about 1000. I would like to go unmedicated or delay any medical intervention as long as possible.

I plan to give birth at Women and infants. I think they are planning on inducing me because I am considered higher risk. Our budget is between 800-1000, but can go up to 1200 if it's the right person. My birth plan is to not die basically. I don't know. I know I want an epidural. I don't know what my options are. My husband and I have a history of medical trauma, and so there is some anxiety on his part going in.

What I'm Looking for in a Doula 1.Emotional Support * Someone who is calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. * Reassurance throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. * Help managing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. * Someone who checks in consistently and genuinely cares. * A safe space where I feel heard, supported, and never alone. * Someone who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and is comfortable offering faith-based encouragement and prayer if I need it. 2. Education & Guidance * Newborn care support. * Breastfeeding and/or formula-feeding guidance. * Postpartum recovery tips. * Baby sleep and soothing basics. * Helping me understand what's normal and when it's time to call my doctor. 3.Physical Support * Continuous support during labor. * Comfort measures such as breathing techniques, positioning, massage, and relaxation. * Light postpartum help, such as meal prep or simple household tasks. * Assistance setting up baby stations and making my home feel ready. 4. What Makes a Doula Stand Out to Me * Easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable. * Responds in a timely manner. * Has helpful resources and recommendations ready. * Creates a welcoming, judgment-free environment, especially for moms with little or no support system. * Helps moms feel seen, encouraged, and less alone. * Supports me emotionally while respecting and sharing my Christian faith and values.

Hospital birth As natural as possible but high risk-bicuspid aortic valve-being seen by MFM Plan to use insurance Birth plan: epidural or possibly not, laboring down as much as long as possible allowing fetal ejection reflex to hopefully take place so minimal pushing. I declined the use of a forceps/suction assisted birth. C section is also still on the table. Want to move about freely or if there’s an epidural in place assistance moving, do not want to birth on my back. Minimal vaccines, delaying schedule and not doing all of them. Must be the preservative free vitamin k shot and if not available then drops only. Delayed cord clamping until white or not pulsating. Baby stays in room with us at all times for all tests etc.. plan to breast feed.
