Hello, My husband and I are expecting our first baby around August 22nd. I hope to labor at home as long as possible and then will deliver in a hospital in Traverse City, MI. I would like labor and delivery to be as natural as possible, avoiding any unnecessary medical interventions for baby and I. I’m hoping for a doula who brings a calm gentle presence but is also able to adapt and advocate for me when needed. As a first time mom I’m hoping for support and guidance around all things lactation. I do also have a very friendly dog that will be a part of everything at home. He’s very gentle but also very much a puppy still so it’s important to me that we’re working with someone who’s is comfortable around dogs. My faith is also a strong part of how I approach birth and motherhood, so I would be overjoyed to work with someone who is comfortable providing support and encouragement from a faith based perspective. However, this is not a requirement. More than anything I just want someone who can respect my values and help me feel peaceful, informed, supported, and advocated for throughout my first experience with childbirth.

Hospital birth. My budget is up to 2800. My birth plan is saline lock , no epidural, no pint. I want to labor at home for as much as the labor as possible. I want the least amount of interventions as possible. I am ok with a newer provider.

Hospital Not sure Just need help with advocating about vaccines for my baby and try to be as natural as possible

Giving birth in a hospital but would like to go as natural as possible

I am unsure as of now, my first birth was with an epidural in the hospitals but my son had gastroschisis so it was heavily monitored. I would love to give birth at home but without a fallback on epidural scares me. Estimated budget it probably $3000-$3500 Birth plan is also TBD I am 11 weeks. If I did an at home birth I would love a birthing pool. Water calms me a lot. We have a bathtub but it’s tight but it could work instead. No vaccinations at all, minimal medical intervention unless needed. I feel like I shouldn’t book a doula until I know my baby is healthy at the anatomy scan? But I would love your thoughts.

I’d like a water birth at a safe facility please. And I’d like to spend a bit less vs. a hospital. I want to be seen and heard.
