Hello, I’m pregnant with my 4th child. My last pregnancy was very traumatic and resulted in a C-section due to lack of help from the doctors. I try to live a more holistic life style these days and after becoming aware of the pharmaceutical industry and how they operate in the US. I’m very frightened and would love to work on having a VBAC for this child. I would love to get the information on how your practice works and what all is offered and how insurance would be able to help cover some costs from getting your assistance. -Laurin Hall.

We are expecting our first child and are planning a hospital birth in the Walnut Creek, CA. We are looking for an experienced, evidence-based birth doula to provide prenatal guidance, continuous labor support, and a postpartum follow-up. We value calm communication, advocacy, and support for both parents, no excessive. We are open to pain management, including an epidural if medically appropriate. Budget is flexible for the right provider.

I am looking for a birth doula to help prepare me for first-time labor and to accompany me and my wife in the Kaiser hospital delivery room. I think I want to do a walking epidural so that I can move around in the hospital bed and not have to deliver while laying on my back.

I'm looking for night doula 3 days per week for my first 2 weeks, and 1 - 2 nights per week for the following 3-5 weeks. I'm also looking for day time doula 2 - 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks. I'd like the doula to have the doula certification, fully vaccinated, and a lactation certificate would be a plus.

1. I haven’t gotten a referral yet but I think I’ll go with El Camino in Mountain View 2. I’m looking for a doula that accepts tricare. I’m also open to paying out of pocket but tricare would be my first pick. 3. This is my second child and the labor with my first was under 4 hours. Birth plan this time would be to labor without an epidural. All other parts of my birth plan I’m open to suggestions. I’d like to labor at home if possible.

Our second child is due in the first week of December 2026. It is going to be a scheduled C-section. Our first baby was born healthy, and we expect the same for our second baby. We are looking for a night nanny's support to take care of the baby during the first 6 to 8 weeks, 5 to 7 nights a week. 8 hours a night. The main responsibility is to take care of the baby during the night: bringing the baby to mom for feeding or bottle feeding as needed, burping, changing diapers, soothing the baby to sleep, and light baby-related tasks like sterilizing bottles and pump parts.

I plan to give birth at the hospital with medication. I prefer to have a vaginal birth if possible and this is my first baby.

I have Kaiser insurance and am planning on giving birth at Kaiser Santa Clara. My birth plan is to be open to assistance or suggestions from professional support. I would like to try different types of pain management and am open to all if necessary. Ideally I do not want to have an IV so movement is possible. I would like to have delayed chord clamping if possible. Skin to skin and golden hour are important to me. My husband will be in the room and is very kind and attentive. I would like to have contact after birth as it is my first child and I’m sure there will be questions, but we don’t need help like cooking, cleaning, or laundry.

I plan to give birth at a hospital. As a backup, I would like to have a home birth. A home birth was my first option but baby had an arrhythmia which is the reason I chose hospital first at this point. I do have medical insurance to cover my hospital birth.
