Looking for someone who could possibly meet me in my home while laboring and then at the birthing center as well. Or who can really help me through those long parts of labor at home. I plan to give birth at a birthing center however it’s possible if something were to come up I’d have to risk out and switch to a hospital. This is my third pregnancy, only one living, I plan to go vaginal again and go without an induction for as long as possible. My first pregnancy I was 41 weeks and I did have GD so expecting possibly a similar experience. No epidural.

I am giving birth at the beaver medical center, not sure about the budget as this is new to me, and trying to understand the process. The plan is to try to birth vaginally. I’m really nervous about the labor and delivery part of this process, and also vaccinations that I’m not comfortable with getting at the hospital. I need a support system to help me make sure I’m making the best decision for not only my baby, but for my Mental state.

• Planning to deliver at UPMC Hanover, as long as a specific doctor is not on duty or scheduled to be when I go into labor. Otherwise, York Memorial • Budget is under $800 (not applicable if our insurance is accepted), but negotiable depending on services • Birth plan includes an epidural, delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin and breastfeeding, and no vaccines at birth • No requirements, but I need someone who can help me stick up for myself if need be. I had a very bad experience with an OB (she yelled, slammed a chair into a wall, and said nasty things to me and my husband) • Care recipients would be myself and my daughter who will be 2 then • Help with cleaning and laundry would be very appreciated!

Hospital birth Trying to avoid induction and epidural

I plan to give birth at Hampden Medical center. I would like for the birth to be natural, no epidural, I like to “move with the pain” I walk, pace, rock, etc…I dislike being hooked up to monitors and not being able to move around
