Haven’t decided where I want to give birth, I have Medicaid insurance, I don’t have a plan yet

I would like to have an at home water birth with this being our first child. We are not sure what our estimated budget will be. Also would like to know the medical procedure and process if anything were to happen. Want to avoid doing any epidural or having to go to the hospital for birthing.

first baby, hoping for a unmedicated home birth, unknown budget

I would like an educated support system to help me through this labor experience. I want to go unmedicated as I nearly did my first labor. I want to be better prepared and knowledgeable to be in control this time. Birth is definitely happening in the hospital due to preterm labor. All ends well I held baby in and went home and water broke at 36 weeks. Baby passed tests in 48 hours and we could go home! I would feel more comfortable with medical professional in case anything happens before I make it to hospital as I went from 3/4cm - 9cm feeling almost no pain until they checked me and broke my water more and pain went from 2-10! I couldn’t prepare myself well enough, the experience was scary and disassociating. Budget is smaller - $700-900! Birth plan overall is to feel in control and empowered over scared and stressed.

I require any provider who works with me during my birth and pregnancy to have a minimum of 2 years experience. And understand that all women’s body’s are different. I have chronic illnesses and my pregnancy and a bit different from others. Especially when it comes to what I can do and what it has done to my body. I want a licensed midwife. That is non negotiable. I only speak English so there is no need for another language or any translation. I do have a processing disorder and tend not to understand if people speak to fast so someone with patience and the ability to see you as someone giving life to the world not just another pay check. I expect my birth doulas to not push personal preferences onto me seeings as how I have a specific goal and plan in mind. Asking questions and figuring out any loose ends is different but a no is a no. That goes for anyone who works with me. For a night nanny, the responsibility’s would be, laundry, dishes, light cleaning. I will be Breast feeding so i will have a frozen stash. If I am up I will use my Breast and store the rest.

Which you can either do all together or cut in half and do half the week at a time. It will also include snack prepping. I cannot have 3 full meals a day and often are required to snack and I need to be able to go to the fridge or cab it’s and have Tupperware with already made snack options. Here’s an example Fridge: Tupperware organizer with, Apple and peanut butter, with a sour candy and cheese slices Pantry: trail mix, dried fruit, mini chocolate. As you can see I have a bit of a sweet tooth lol. Our night nanny’s are required to have all CPR, First aid and child care certificates needed. Along with being the minimum age of 21. All food in the house will be open to you. We don’t expect you to haul in your own food when working at night of all things.
