I’m hospital, I have no idea about budget , my birth plan is unknown

I'm planning on giving birth at Covenant hospital. However, I would like as little medical interventions as possible. This is my first pregnancy and I'm looking for someone to help me prepare for labor and help me through the birthing process to hopefully avoid a C-Section. I would also like to know if there is a doula who accepts aetna ppo insurance.

Nursing for 3 months. Since returning to work baby prefers bottle over breast and it’s very difficult to keep her latched and nursing long enough to fill her tummy. Night feedings go okay. Using evenflow balance + wide bottle. 3-4 days per week while mom works. Try to exclusively breast feed when mom is home. Baby has taken passifier since 1 week. Need help promoting breast preference over bottle.

I am planning to give birth at Alma Hospital and am currently looking for a supportive, knowledgeable doula to assist me through labor and delivery. My birth plan is simple and focused on having a safe, healthy delivery for both myself and my baby. I am open to guidance, education, and support throughout the process, especially in managing pain, understanding my options, and advocating for my needs during labor. I am hoping to work with a doula who is certified and experienced in hospital births. Experience with first-time or low-intervention births is a plus. A calm, supportive, and reassuring presence is very important to me. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with hospital staff are also key. There are no special requirements in terms of additional duties such as cooking, cleaning, or postpartum household support. My primary focus is labor and delivery support, along with breastfeeding and latching support. The care recipient is myself and my newborn. There are no known special needs at this time. I am planning to decide on feeding breastfeeding and bottle feeding and would appreciate a doula who can provide guidance or resources if needed. My budget is based on what my insurance will cover. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and I would like assistance understanding what services may be eligible for coverage or reimbursement. Overall, I am looking for someone who will help me feel confident, supported, and informed during one of the most important experiences of my life.

Want to make sure baby has correct latching and transferring correctly. Baby has only ever had breast milk and I collected colostrum for 3 weeks before he was born and had that in hospital. His latch seems to be good and causes me no pain but he has a top lip blister and unsure if that’s from the few times he took a bottle when I pumped or from his latch,
