My name is Kendra, and I’m looking for a doula to support me through my second pregnancy.

I’m located in Lakeland. Please let me know if you’re available and your services. I’d love to discuss how you could support me.

Hello, I am looking for someone that accepts Medicaid. I have recently moved from South Carolina to Lakeland Florida.

I’ve tried all the birthing centers in the area and they are all booked in August. I thank you for taking the time out to read this. If you are unable as well please point me in the right direction with some recommendations please I really would appreciate it.

I plan on giving birth at a hospital. I’m not sure about a budget yet. It’s early and still looking into options. I have had several back surgeries and cannot have an epidural.

Natural vaginal birth after c section. Hospital birth. I want someone who can help advocate for me and help me get through labor naturally

I plan to birth in a birth center as long as the pregnancy remains low risk. I'd like to keep the cost of a doula under 1,000.00. I'd like to birth naturally, with no epidural with meditation/breathing techniques to reduce pain naturally, while being able to freely move around.

Hospital English 39 years old with my first chil

I'm planning on giving birth at a hospital (AdventHealth Wesley Chapel). I'm hoping to find someone in my area who takes Medicaid (FL Aetna Better Health). My biggest reasons for looking into doulas is because I have had a life-long struggle with depression and anxiety and pregnancy has definitely heightened all of that. I don't have any friends who have been through pregnancy or have kids, so I don't have anyone to go to for guidance other than calling my OB or asking ChatGPT. My fiancé could also benefit from some guidance. It's my first pregnancy and my will be my fiancé's first child, so we don't know much regarding birth plan besides that we want our son to be circumcised and we want him to get all medically recommended vaccines and medications. We are open to suggestions.

My last birth was a freebirth at home, i would prefer to have a medical team of some sort on hand for a homebirth this time. I am currently uncertain on a budget. I would like to plan a homebirth if pregnancy remains low risk. Labor in a quiet, calm environment. Dim lighting. Minimal unnecessary interruptions. Freedom to move, walk, squat, kneel, or change positions as desired. Access to water for comfort measures and possible waterbirth if appropriate. I would prefer non medication comfort measures first. Water immersion, position changes, breathing techniques, massage and counter pressure, and encouragement from support people/team. I would like to avoid unnecessary interventions when i and the baby are doing well. Informed consent before any non-emergency procedures. I would also like to have clear explanations of risks, benefits, and alternatives before decisions are made whenever possible. For delivery i want to be able to push according to my bodys urges rather than directed pushing if safe unless i ask otherwise . Freedom to choose birthing position. I want the baby on my chest immediately if both of us are stable. The golden hour is very important to me. I want delayed cord clamping. I want my partners involved in the delivery and cutting the cord. I would also like to deliver our placenta naturally if safe. I would like to initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible. Routine newborn procedures delayed until after bonding when medically appropriate. Keep mother and baby together whenever possible. Transfer to hospital if medically necessary. Preference for clear communication throughout any transfer. I would prefer a provider who is open minded to odd family dynamics and who has been practicing for at least 5-6 years. I am 28 years old, this is my fifth pregnancy and hopefully fourth birth.
