John Hopkins Hospital Price: $1,800-2,000 My goal is to have an Unmedicated birth. This will be baby #2 for us. I had a pretty bad experience with my first where my wishes and concerns were completely ignored. I really wish I had someone there to advocate for me when I couldn’t think clearly, my nurse was very evil person and caused a lot of pain and negativity while I was in labor. I get back labor, and the pain is so unbearable I’d really need someone to help me cope and push through! I’d also love a doula who is very informative on certain things hospitals tend to force mothers into. Would love if my doula were seasoned with At least 4 years of experience. I had a very hard time with postpartum recovery which I believe hindered me from being able to breastfeed since I was under so much stress. I would really love to breastfeed this time around.

We are looking for a midwife and/or doula who is experienced in supporting natural, holistic, and intuitive birthing experiences, specifically home water births. This is our first birth, and we want to feel supported, informed, and respected throughout the entire process. We value a provider who honors the body’s natural ability to give birth while also remaining attentive, knowledgeable, and grounded. Our intention is to have a natural home water birth, with a focus on low intervention and supporting physiological labor. We are interested in using movement, breathwork, positioning, and other non-medical comfort measures to guide the process. We are open to medical support if needed, but we want someone who prioritizes informed consent and helps us feel empowered and involved in all decisions. We have been receiving prenatal care from an OB-GYN up to this point while we search for the right midwife or doula, and we are looking to transition our care to someone who aligns more closely with our holistic approach. We are especially looking for someone who is calm, intuitive, and respectful of our preferences, and who can help create a peaceful, grounded environment during labor. Guidance with labor positioning, pain management, and emotional reassurance is very important to us. We would also appreciate support for my partner so they can confidently assist me throughout labor. Our goal is to create a birth experience that feels safe, supported, and aligned with our values, while still being adaptable if circumstances change. We are open to discussing budget and services based on the level of support provided.
