Find Doula Jobs in Hutchinson, KS

second baby. I had preeclampsia with my first, and she had a 9-day NICU stay. I felt very uninformed when it came to my care, which made everything so much worse. I am looking for someone to be an advocate for me during birth & to educate me as we go. I will be giving birth at St Joe. I want to birth naturally, but I’m open to getting the epidural as late as I can, as I’d like to be able to move around while laboring. I don’t know where to begin on budget, but I am low income (on medicaid), so mostly just seeing if this is even an option for me.

Help with a successful natural birth support through birth control I have to give birth at Wesley hospital due to being high risk.

Looking for a doula to assist with postpartum overnight care for twins

Hello, my name is Linda Gomez. Im a 47 yo mother of 12 and I might be pregnant. If I AM pregnant, I don't want a hospital birth. I've always want a natural, at home, water birth. I have Anthem BCBS insurance, and I might qualify for medicaid as well. Of course, I won't know for sure until I find out that I AM pregnant, and then apply for the medicaid. I just want to know if I can even GET a midwife to see me. With my last 3 pregnancies I was considered a high risk pregnancy, I had gestational diabetes with 2 of those pregnancies and lower iron levels with my last pregnancy. They also induced labor for my last pregnancy because they were worried that she was going to be a big baby. She was a little bit more than 8 pounds. My biggest baby was 8lbs 13oz. My smallest was 6½ pounds (but there were 2 of them at once). I have one set of fraternal twins (both boys). 4 girls and 8 boys all together, and my youngest child is 19½ months old. I'm still breastfeeding her too. And I haven't had a period since we conceived her. I think I might be pregnant because my uterus feels tight and full, and I can feel it getting tighter when I am on a long walk. My cravings are all over the place too. And I went from 197 to 209 recently. I took a pregnancy test last week and IT was a negative. So I'm going to take another one tomorrow morning. I really hope, (if I am pregnant) that I CAN see a midwife instead of going to the hospital again. I never did like doctors and the way they treat me like I don't even know my own body. Plus I bet a midwife knows more effective ways to have a healthy pregnancy with minimal to no complications. Up until my 8th or ninth child I had a good metabolism and could loose the baby weight in a few short months, even with my twin pregnancy. But then I had my 8th or 9th child and after him I couldn't loose the weight anymore. It might have something to do with my meds. I am taking 2 medications for anxiety and bipolar (I think). One's olanzapine (20mg) once a day, and the other is sertraline (50mg) once a day. I'm also taking vitamins. A prenatal (1 a day),VH probiotics and prebiotics plus cranberry (2 a day), a vitamin B complex (2 a day), vitamin D3 (250 mcg, 1 a day), magnesium (400mg. 1 a day), zinc (50mg, 1 a day), vitamin C (1000mg, 2 a day), liquid iodine (150mg, 3 drops a day) and Amazing Grass as well. Any how that's all I'm taking. The closest I ever got to a natural birth was with my 10 child. I almost had her in the hospital bathroom while changing into my hospital gown. I had her ruffly 20 minutes after I arrived at the hospital and about five minutes after I got into the bed. She was born still inside her amniotic sack. And that was the easiest birth I had ever experienced. No IV, no pain meds, no pitocin, no doctor, just a bunch of nurses, trying to get me ready. But I was already ready. Anyways if there is a midwife out there reading this that thinks I am a good candidate for a home birth (again....if I AM pregnant) I would love to know what my options are. Thank you and God bless you all!

Aiming for a natural labor without epidural. Pain management & encouragement! Going to birthcare center.

Planning on delivering in a birthing center. I’m wanting to find a provider that is covered by my insurance because my insurance should cover all of the cost. I have TRICARE prime and I’m currently in contact with my doctor on getting a referral so I can see my options. Im wanting a natural birth with no interventions. This will be my second birth/pregnancy and with my first I didn’t know a lot and ended up getting an epidural and was given Pitocin and had a second degree tear, all im wanting to avoid this time. With my first I did have a girl and I am having a boy this time and we are currently discussing what we want to do for circumcision.
