Hospital Natural birth Seeing if any doulas take insurance and comparing prices too This is my fourth birth. I've had 3 doula supported births

Hello, My name is Liana. I have gestational diabetes and am currently on insulin. Me and my husband plan on having the baby at the hospital-vaginally if possible. My health insurance-Horizon NJ health- told me about new doula services they provide (I'm not really sure how it works or how to sign up). I have 2 kids-an 8 year old and a 2 year old I care for. I worry that as I get further along my pregnancy going grocery shopping, attending 2-3 appointments weekly, and other physical activities all with my 2 year old would start emotionally and physically draining me. My husband helps me in the morning when he can but leaves early afternoon for work.

I plan on giving birth at home I would also like a doula to keep me company during pregnancy

Doula, night nurse, and perhaps sleep coach. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Melissa, could you please give me a call? I have a situation I’m going to the hospital for surgery and I need a sleepover specialist to come to my house on February 3 and stay most of February 4. Please let me know if that’s possible 609-781-7592 thank you.

Hospital, unknown budget, birth plan in progress

I want to give birth at home or birthing center but due to my lupus and kidney disease conditions I am fine with it being at a hospital if needed to be. I want to find somewhere approved by my Medicaid insurance as I won’t be able to afford out of pocket cost at the moment. I want to go natural this time, I want to have someone who can help me mentally stay strong as well as making sure all my wishes is followed by during this labor as my previous labor was amazing but not the way I wanted it to be. I do want a water birth as well as my first pregnancy I was in the shower most of the time until I got the epidural. I really want to have a team as my only support is my husband and we have no contact with our families.

I just need someone to teach me things before the baby is born. Such as pelvic floor expand how to Brest feed. I would like someone to be an advocate for my wants and needs in the hospital when delivering to ensure my wishes are met and doctors just don’t proceed however they want. And maybe be some extra hands and care once baby is born Giving birth at Paoli in PA I would like to keep the price reasonable but I don’t know what that looks like maybe $1000? I don’t have a birth plan at this time I would like someone who can travel to the home and to the hospital

Hi. I’m pregnant with my third baby and would love to have a doula ! I recently found out my insurance (which I was shocked by this haha) accepts doula care. My insurance app brought me to you, so I wanted to reach out personally and see if you do take insurance or just out of pocket? I have horizon nj health. Thank you! :)
