Find Doula Jobs in Laurel, MD

I’m not sure of these questions yet. I am still searching for a hospital. First time mom so Im not sure of budgets.

I plan to give birth at Howard County General Hospital that is connected with Johns Hopkins. My OB is through Capital Women's Care in Fulton/Maple Lawn, and the OBs rotate there. I had a c-section December 2022, and I believe I was pressured into this when it was unnecessary based on speaking with doctors, friends, and family since. I want a VBAC. I do not have a large budget. I'm trying to figure out how my doulas cost. My family is willing to help a little thankfully. I'm guestimating my budget is $2k. I want someone that will advocate for me, encourage me, and help me to have a VBAC, as last time I was continually pressured to have, and my husband could not advocate for me to keep going and trying. I felt guilty about his anxieties for me, which led me to take an unnecessary and harder process of the c-section, and ended up being much scarier for both of us.

I’m a first time mom my husbands in the military and there’s a chance he won’t be here for the birth and I’m very worried about going to military doctors and being alone for birth/ going home by myself so I’m looking for someone who is willing to speak for me educate me on some things that might go over my head do to stress and worry I will need help around my home hospital birth
