I plan to give birth at Women and infants. I think they are planning on inducing me because I am considered higher risk. Our budget is between 800-1000, but can go up to 1200 if it's the right person. My birth plan is to not die basically. I don't know. I know I want an epidural. I don't know what my options are. My husband and I have a history of medical trauma, and so there is some anxiety on his part going in.

I need a doula to support me through the nights for the first 3 months of care for my newborn at night. I’m might also will need help with cooking, laundry and cleaning but what is more important to me it’s the night time shifts to be covered. I do want an experience certificated doula.

Hospital birth, $2500 budget, would like a natural birth

I plan to give birth in a hospital ( Anna Jaques).

Hi from a first time older mom (42) with well controlled MS and Graves Disease. My OB team says that I should to be induced a week before my due date. This baby was very wanted and very planned but unexpected to come so fast! I had an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist a few weeks after I discovered that I was pregnant. I’m new to NH (2020) and all of my friends are in the Boston area and had kids some time ago so I’m feeling a bit alone. As my due date approaches I find myself getting anxious! I’m normally a mountain climbing hiker (NH 48) and an Appalachian Mountain Club leader, but just reached the point where walking is the most that I can do. I was told a few weeks ago by my OB team that I shouldn't be climbing mountains anymore. My balance the past two months has gotten worse, so I’d agree, though it’s always been bad! It was been a rough summer for me as my beloved father passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. I’ve taken over his architectural firm since 2023 so I’ve had a lot on my plate! I’d like to have a natural birth, though I’m not sure if being induced means that’s technically not possible. I’m interested in hypnobirthing and anything that I can do to reduce pain, length and the need for a c-section. I plan to give birth at Elliot Hospital and have been being seen at Dartmouth Hitchcock, Bedford. My budget has kept me from reaching out sooner as my husband’s in a different position than when I conceived but at this pint I need help. Cost will not be an issue. As I keep saying while preparing, that what saving are for. Super flexible schedule. That’s me!

I plan to give birth in hospital with absolutely no interventions. I have Neighborhood Health Plan of RI. My goal is no interventions, and please I would like to work with someone that practices informed consent and will not get personally angry or treat me differently if I deny a given procedure!

My husband is currently deployed so I won’t have a birthing partner. I will have my mom, but I want somebody who is experienced and knows different techniques for a smooth and easy labor and delivery.

Would like a midwife to help with me with my first pregnancy
