I need support with delivery. Breastfeeding and post partum

We are expecting our first baby around November 24, 2026, and plan to deliver at The Baby Place in St. Petersburg. We are looking for a highly experienced, certified birth doula who has attended at least 50 births and is very comfortable supporting hospital deliveries. Tania is currently leaning toward having an epidural, but we want someone who can support her decisions without pushing a particular type of birth. We would prefer a doula who is calm and reassuring but can also be confident and assertive when appropriate. We want help understanding our options, communicating with the medical team, and making informed decisions if the birth does not go according to plan. As first-time parents, we are looking for guidance on how Jason can be an effective support person rather than being replaced by the doula. We would like someone who can help us determine the best division of roles during labor and adapt based on what Tania needs. We would like the package to include: • One or two prenatal planning meetings • Childbirth education or a birthing class • On-call availability around the due date • Continuous support throughout labor and delivery • At least one postpartum follow-up visit • Breastfeeding or lactation guidance, either directly or through a trusted referral Experience supporting first-time parents, anxiety during labor, epidurals, hospital interventions, efforts to avoid unnecessary interventions, unexpected C-sections, and early breastfeeding would be important to us. Spanish fluency would be helpful but is not required. We have not established a firm budget yet and would like candidates to provide their full pricing, services included, payment schedule, cancellation policy, backup-doula arrangement, and any additional costs.
