First child Birthing from home Prebirth help Postpartum help

This is my first baby. 1. I plan on giving birth at a hospital. 2. $1000 3. I don't have a birth plan yet

I’m currently looking for a daytime postpartum doula to support us during the newborn stage. My primary goal is education and hands-on guidance, rather than household help or overnight care. Specifically, I’m hoping for support with: • Helping us understand our baby’s needs and cues • Interpreting different types of crying (hunger, tiredness, overstimulation, etc.) • Teaching us how to recognize sleep cues and manage wake windows • Providing personalized guidance based on our baby’s individual patterns, rather than a rigid schedule • Supporting communication within the family so everyone is aligned on newborn care I’m especially interested in a doula who focuses on parent coaching and newborn education, and who is comfortable teaching in real time while allowing parents and family members to practice hands-on.

Night nurse, feeding, diaper changing, sleeping, over night

Light housekeeping and meal prep. Occasional help with baby such as watching them when / if I shower / exercise etc. certifications and background check required along with real life references. Ideally looking for overnight support once a week.

I'm still very unsure about all of these details and am looking to connect with a few different options to decide exactly what I want to do. I know I don't want to do it at home but think I want to do it at a birthing center as opposed to a hospital and I don't want an epidural.

Putting out my feelers now for a night nanny/doula and what the cost may be; Our budget is small given that this will be our second child (currently enrolled in daycare) so we are open to maybe 2-3 nights a week if we cannot afford more. Our hope is that the night nanny/night Doula would be able to assist in feeding, changing and helping clean pumps parts once I finish. We’re planning on a hospital birth in the event I have complications like I do with my first child.

First pregnancy, need someone to couch me and be an advocate while giving birth. I have anxiety around birth and I need someone who can help me stay calm.

Him, 10000, I want to give birth at home using a midwife

Moral support for 1 st time mom

My partner will need to work throughout my maternity leave. I currently have a 4 month old daughter and what I’m looking for is someone to be with the babies throughout the night so I can rest. If she would be able to wake me up for pumping while shes on shift that would be a plus as well as helping to wash bottles, pacifiers etc.

Cleaning, laundry, nutrition, sleep training, baby sitting while I sleep or go to the gym

My name is Delaney Coleman, I’m 29 years old and pregnant with my first baby. I found out on March 28 that I am pregnant, and I am excited and nervous. Depending on cost, I’ll probably end up giving birth at a hospital, but my ideals line up more with midwifery/birthing center processes. My estimated budget is probably no more than $500 if that is even possible. I don’t know the general charge for a doula, but I would love a very experienced one who can advocate for me and my husband when we are stressed out and vulnerable at and after the birth. I would like a physiological, uninterrupted birthing experience. Cervical checks are not needed unless there is a medical emergency. My water will break naturally. I do not consent to manual rupture unless absolutely necessary. I will push when and how my body tells me to. I do not want coached pushing unless I ask for guidance. Hands-off approach during pushing unless I request support. Warm compresses only if I ask. I will choose the position I give birth in. Low lighting and minimal noise in the room. Cord clamping should not be done until the cord is white and no longer pulsing. The placenta will detach and deliver on its own. Up to one hour after birth is normal and safe. After one hour, if there are medical concerns, intervention may be necessary. No cord traction, pitocin, or medications to speed placenta delivery unless there is an emergency. Immediate skin-to-skin after birth. No separation from my baby unless medically necessary. All procedures and medications for my baby must be clearly explained beforehand. I want uninterrupted bonding time after birth. We would NOT like any Vitamin K to be given to our daughter or heel pricks done, unless she is born by vacuum, forceps or cesarean My husband or myself will cut the cord I would prefer if nobody was to take or hold my daughter unless there’s a medical emergency This is what felt right and safe for me and my body. Every birth is different this was simply my choice. I do have Tourette Syndrome, which I can go into further detail about with my future doula. I am predisposed to potentially have twins (runs in my family, has always been fraternal twins). Any other duties would probably simply be to help me prepare for baby and help me possibly with some lactation consulting. Otherwise, I have some family members who can come over the first bit and help with household chores if need be. Unfortunately, due to my insurance type, I am not sure what will be covered in care, so the lowest charging with most experience doula is right up my alley! I don’t really know how this goes.

I plan to give birth in a hospital. I have an OBGYN. I am open to discussing budget. My birth plan includes: I ideally do not want to push for hours or be on my back for the majority of the labor process. I plan to have an epidural. I just found out I am pregnant and am unsure of all the details.
