Di/Di twin pregnancy Birth at umass Looking for someone who accepts tufts direct silver

I would like more education on home birth, VBAC, natural birth. I would like to give birth at home. My birth plan would include unmedicated, delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin, delayed washing.

I’m a postpartum doula and lactation educator, currently expecting my second child. I live in Clinton and plan to give birth at St. Vincent’s Hospital (due to insurance) and would like to labor at home for as long as possible before going in. My goal is an unmedicated birth. My first pregnancy and birth were overall positive. I progressed to 7 cm before choosing an epidural. This time, I’m looking for a birth doula who can help me stay focused, grounded, and supported through labor with strong guidance on pain management, positioning, and relaxation techniques. I value a holistic, health focused approach to pregnancy and birth, with a strong foundation in fitness, nutrition, and body awareness. I’m looking for someone who aligns with those values, provides evidence based support, and can confidently hold space while also guiding me when I need it.

I’m planning a natural birth at Emerson hospital through AFA OB/GYN. This is my third baby and my husband’s first. I was pressured into a lot of medical interventions with my previous births that I didn’t want. I’m concerned that I’ll need to advocate for myself and it will slow down my labor. My husband is nervous about labor and delivery and I don’t think he’ll be able to advocate for me. I’m hoping someone takes our insurance. Web TPA.

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? Hospital Provide your estimated budget: only insurance BCBS Describe your birth plan: Don't have one yet Describe your requirements for the provider (certification, number of years of experience, second language spoken): It would be nice if you understood and spoke Spanish, but it is not a requirement. Details about care recipients (Age, special needs, feeding, etc.): I am 33 years old, have ADHD, pre-diabetic. Include any additional duties (Sleep training, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.): Sleep Training would be nice, cooking would be even better. I would like some help with the baby, as I am in school and only have my husband around for help. Provide your estimated budget: I am hoping the whole thing is covered by insurance. Include your insurance provider's name and plan details: My insurance does cover Doula, but I may need a prescription or justification from my OB. Currently, I am on my spouse's family plan in BCBS Anthem PPO.

Birth doula, baystate springfield, MA, natural birth

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently looking for a birth doula for my October delivery. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of 10/14. I’m planning to deliver at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence with the midwives at the birthing center, and I’m based in Mansfield, MA. I’m looking for a doula who is experienced with Women & Infants and supportive of a midwife-led birth experience. This is my first baby and pregnancy, so looking for all the advice and support! I have United Healthcare through Harvard Pilgrim, so I’d also love to know whether you accept this insurance, offer reimbursement support, or can provide a superbill. If you have October availability, I’d love to learn more about your services, experience, pricing, and whether you offer a consultation call. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Kelsey

Hi! This is my first pregnancy and looking for support in getting ready for delivery and helping me through labor and with postpartum care

I plan on giving birth at the Beverly hospital I plan on using my insurance to cover I have masshealth (Wellsense) At least 2 years of experience required Spanish as a second language is a plus but not required

I'm looking for a doula in-network with Aetna. I plan on giving birth in the hospital vaginally.

This is my first pregnancy, and because I am naturally a very anxious person, it is especially important to me to have a trusted support person in the delivery room who can help advocate for me. I want to ensure that my wishes are clearly communicated and respected throughout labor and delivery, as I may feel overwhelmed in the moment. Having someone act as my voice will help me feel more comfortable, supported, and confident, and will also help ensure that neither I nor my family feel overlooked during this experience. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial and am covered by Mass General Brigham insurance, and I want to take proactive steps to make sure my care team understands and honors my needs.

I will be giving birth at baystate Springfield. My insurance provider is blue cross blue shield anthem

Birth Plan hospital birth I would like a physiological vaginal birth in a calm, low-stimulation environment. I prefer minimal lighting (dim lights or fairy lights) and a quiet, supportive atmosphere. I request no cervical checks unless medically necessary or unless I give consent. I would like to avoid medical interventions, including induction, artificial rupture of membranes (water breaking), IV fluids, and epidural, unless they are medically necessary or I request it. I would like to be informed and give consent before any interventions are performed. I prefer to labor and push in positions that feel natural to me, following my body’s cues rather than coached pushing. After birth, I would like delayed cord clamping until the cord has completely stopped pulsating. I prefer a natural delivery of the placenta without manual removal or medications, unless medically necessary. I would also like to keep my placenta. Immediately after delivery, I want uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact for at least one hour, and to delay routine newborn procedures unless medically necessary. I understand that situations may arise that require medical intervention. If so, I ask that all options be clearly explained to me and that I am included in decision-making whenever possible. Estimated budget 1000-12000 hoping my health insurance can cover it all.
