I want to give birth at home my budget is 1,000 I want an safe and good birth plan

I plan to give birth at home. I moved to lake charles, louisiana about 4 months ago from nc. I have 3 children and have always had medicaid as my insurance provider, however, medicaid has only been approved for my 2 oldest children. I've filed for an appeal and have my hearing on july 21st. I discovered I was pregnant a little over a week ago and am hoping the judge approves my appeal. From my understanding, medicaid pays for the midwife but the recipient is responsible for paying the cost of the supplies and equipment needed during delivery, the midwives assistance and other things. If the judge denies me medicaid coverage, I will find an insurance provider. I can make monthly payments for 8 months towards $2,000, preferably bi-weekly payments of $125 for 8 months. My birth plan is very simple, deliver a healthy baby. It's only me, my three children and their father here in Louisiana. I am not sure if my children's father will be able to take work off before, during or after the delivery, therefore, I'll try my best to find a caregiver for my children near the baby's due date

I want to give birth in a birth center or at home

I’d like to give birth in the comfort of my home; preferably a water birth but it doesn’t have to be. I’d prefer a black midwife/doula and I would need help with a birth plan as well as care up until my due date.

Currently, I plan to give birth at the hospital un-medicated or physiological. I've been interested in a home birth and just want to see my options. I've been working with a doula and would like to have a home birth as I've learned more information about birth. I'm overweight, so IDK if that impacts my eligibility to have a home birth. My birth plan would be to labor at home for as long as possible and to be comfortable. Having a clean home, some soothing music, and some affirmations I believe would help me to be comfortable. I would like to labor in the shower, on a birthing ball, and however I can get comfortable. When it's time, I would like to head to the hospital or have a midwife come to my home. At the hospital, I would like to create a calm environment by praying & doing some breathing exercises. I'd like to continue to labor with a ball or moving. Once baby is here, I'd like to delay cord clamping and have baby put on my chest.

I hope to give birth at a birthing center and we don have a budget right now. My birth plan is to birth naturally, no shots for baby, or eye ointment. The insurance I use is blue cross blue shield

Currently planning on giving birth at my local hospital. I do have an OB and I am 28 weeks. I feel like I want a more personal approach to my pregnancy care, as this is my first and I am 37 y.o. I am open to medical interventions when necessary but hope and plan to do as much as I can on my own.

I’d like to plan a homebirth! I live in Athens La which is about 20 mins from Ruston.

* I would like a midwife-led birth in a hospital setting. * I prefer an unmedicated (100% natural) labor and delivery. * I would like an OB available on standby only if medically necessary.

I want an at home water birth, but I also want to be prepared so that I can feel confident in going all natural. I have had one child via c-section but I want to birth naturally in the comfort of my home.

I plan to give birth at home. My budget is around 7k I really don't have a birth plan.

I plan on having a hospital delivery and my insurance said they cover Doulas. I absolutely do not want a C-Section and no stress whatsoever. I’m big on advocating because I don’t do well with pain. I want help with breastfeeding and sleeping.

I want to give a home birth preferably water birth with an estimated budget of around 2000-3000

1- hospital birth accompanied by my OB 2- Fully covered by my insurance preferably. My Tricare plan covers up to 6 hours prior to birth and one visit during l&d. 3- I’m wanting to try for a Vbac and labor unmedicated for the majority of labor, but am open to/considering an epidural once active labor occurs. I had an emergency induction with my first pregnancy at 35 weeks due to cholestasis, and ended up having an emergency c-section as well due to failure to progress and concerns of fetal distress by my OB. It was an incredibly traumatic experience that I’m hoping to avoid this time around. My main goal is to use the least amount of medical intervention possible.

Looking for a Black doula and midwife to prep for an at home water birth. I do not have a budget just looking for a provider who accepts insurance

I’d like a Home birth or anywhere that’s not a hospital. Our budget is 5000 but willing to pay more since we’re looking for more of a traveling midwife/doula. I don’t have a full birth plan I just know I want to have my baby outside of a hospital no epidural no shots for my baby. I need guidance as this is my first pregnancy and I’m living on the road with my husband who works pipeline. We stay at hotels we never know how long we’re going to be somewhere or where we’re going next. if by some miracle we’re home for the birth we’d be in Louisiana in the rv but I’d rather be somewhere else like a birthing facility. We’re Christians our faith is very important to us. Id only be willing to work with a female. I want to be safe I want my baby to be safe I’d like for my baby to be brought into the world with there health and wellbeing being a priority. No clamping the umbilical cord. Skin to skin contact for minimum an hour. My baby is never to be without my husband or I. No procedures that are not necessary.

Home birth Average budget, would prefer lower than average but I know what it costs. 3rd baby 2nd natural unmedicated labor. Water birth if possible.

I am not sure where I plan on giving birth as of now. I really dont want to be induced of have a epidural.
