Hospital planned birth. Unmedicated VBAC birth goal. Covered by Tricare

I’m pregnant with my first and am very adamant to have a waterbirth at home or hospital/birthcenter wherever possible. My spouse and I are in the military and I am active duty under Tricare Prime. Here’s my birth plan: 1. Limited people in the room, no students or unnecessary staff, I'm not an experiment to observe 2. Do not offer me an epidural for pain, or pitocin to speed things up, as it might interfere with my own resolve 3. No cervical checks as they don't provide any benefit or real indication of how much longer labour will take, and will only increase a sense of rush/anxiety if things are not going "fast enough" 4. Obtain mine/my husband's consent for any intervention or medication 5. I will be accompanied by a trusted person at all times (spouse, mom/in-law, doula) 6. No continuous fetal monitoring as it has not been proven to improve outcomes for mom or baby and increases interventions and c-sections. Intermittent monitoring will do. 7. Baby goes immediately skin to skin on my chest (without a hat) to regulate his/her temperature and blood sugar, encourage breastfeeding, and help my hormones work to heal and stem bleeding 8. You will not clamp the cord until it is white and limp so my baby can benefit from oxygen to vital organs, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, red and white blood cells, immune cells, stem cells, and increasing iron stores. 9. I will take 1+ "golden hour" after birth before any exams, weighing, etc are done. Please leave the room to family only and turn off the lights. 10. No pulling on the placenta or fundal massage. My golden time will help my placenta detach on its own and I will let you know if I want you to gently ease it out or if I will stand and do it myself. 11. We are declining the vitamin K shot 12. We are declining the antibiotic eye ointment since I tested negative for Chlamydia/gonorrhea

1. Samaritan Hospital 2. I’m unsure what it would cost but I’d say between $3,000-$5,000. 3. VBAC, Natural labor progression, pain meds & epidural. No foley ballon, or Pitocin, C section only if medically necessary.

This is my second and I feel if I had someone walking with me who understood the process, even the nutrition and emotional side of post and prenatal life it would be helpful.

I will be giving birth in a hospital. I want as natural as possible and the freedom to move about during labor. I want someone who will be able to advocate for me and my needs/wants when I am unable or being pressured by doctors. I also want someone to help with main management and giving me strategies to use throughout labor. I am not sure of my budget.

I want to give birth at home. I hope to be covered by insurance.

Status: 21 Weeks | First Pregnancy Insurance: United FAMIS Moms (Medicaid) Location: Stafford, VA ​I am 21 weeks into a high-risk pregnancy and am looking for a new doula to join my care team. After waiting 10 years for this miracle, I’ve spent this pregnancy navigating some very difficult hurdles and I’m really looking forward to finally having some peace and consistent support. ​My Journey So Far: ​Medical & Career Hurdles: Early delays in my medical care made it impossible to get work accommodations in time, which unfortunately led to me being fired. ​The "Shuffling" Challenge: I’ve seen 4 different doctors plus the ER since January. I’m often sent for labs without getting to discuss the results with the same provider. This lack of continuity is causing a lot of physical stress, and I’m looking for someone to help me stabilize this process. ​Communication Needs: I am transitioning from my current doula because I’ve realized I need a more "hands-on" style of communication. A 3-4 day wait for a reply has been difficult for me; I’m hoping to find someone who can check in more regularly and help me tackle specific tasks as they come up. ​What I’m Looking For in a Doula: ​A True Advocate: Someone to help me feel heard in the medical system and ensure my care plan is consistent. ​Goal-Oriented Support: I’m looking for someone who enjoys the "resource" side of birth work—helping find solutions for things like housing transitions, move-out volunteers, and medical coordination. ​Mandatory Requirements: ​Insurance: Please be a credentialed provider with United FAMIS Moms. I am unable to pay out-of-pocket at this time. ​Platform Messaging: Please message me here on BornBir so I can keep my notifications in one place!

Giving birth in Fredericksburg, Virginia (Mary Washington Hospital.) EDD is 4/28/26 but I am AMA and have been told they won't let me go past 39 weeks, which would be delivery around 4/21. It is the first birth for both me and my husband. I have gestational diabetes but it is fully diet controlled and I've been given no indication that I'll need to be induced earlier or have a c-section. I am hopeful to go spontaneously before needing to be induced, because I really want to avoid an epidural (I don't mind other pain meds, but I do not want to be numb), and I've heard that being induced makes it much more likely you'll need an epidural. We've done all of our birth classes already (labor and delivery, breastfeeding, home with baby) so mostly looking for delivery support at this point. Never thought about using a doula until this last week or so, which is why I'm a little late to the game!

I plan to give birth at Sentara in Woodbridge but my OB’s office is in Stafford. I have Medicaid. I don’t have a birth plan but I’d like help creating one. I’ve had past miscarriages and this pregnancy has been healthy, but lonely and scary. I’d like the support of a doula for many reasons.

i would prefer to do a natural home birth, no hospital. first time pregnant. unsure of budget however open and flexible.

Hello, I plan to give birth at home and am open to a water birth. I have tried reaching out to multiple midwives but have not had any luck finding someone available. I am 23 weeks pregnant, feel great, baby is active and am so thankful. I have not seen any doctor and truly do not want to have our first baby in a hospital unless necessary. We are willing to work with your company on price, and understand the flat rate is $6000.00. I have a supportive family who I know will be available to help after baby comes. The main need is having someone qualified and experienced to help deliver our baby at home, and know what to look for during labor for any potential complications and making a wise judgment to get more help. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly via email! Emily
