St. Peters Hospital (Albany) Max $2,000 Unmedicated 3VBAC

I’m planning to give birth in a hospital because I feel most comfortable having medical support available. I definitely plan on getting an epidural for pain management, but I still want the experience to feel as calm and supported as possible. My budget is around $800–$1,500, depending on what’s included. I’m open to some flexibility if it’s a really good fit and includes prenatal and postpartum support. For my birth plan, I’m hoping for a smooth vaginal delivery, but I’m also realistic and open to whatever is safest for me and the baby. Since I plan on getting an epidural, I’d really like someone who can help me stay relaxed, guide me through the process, and support both me and my partner during labor. Communication is really important to me—I want to understand what’s happening and feel involved in decisions. After birth, I’d love immediate skin-to-skin contact and some guidance during those first few hours. Postpartum support would also be really helpful

This is my second baby. I am 29 weeks pregnant and starting to get super anxious about birth. I was induced at 41 weeks 2 days with my 1st, got an epidural, and pushed for three hours. Pushing was extremely hard and painful for me. She was stuck under my pelvic bone. As I get closer my anxiety about birth is increasing tremendously. I plan to give birth at a hospital. I believe my insurance covers this, I have Tricare select. For a birth plan, I would ideally like to have vaginal birth. I want all pain medications. The anxiety I am having is making me considering a planned c-section.

UCONN Exploring budget Need help with birth plan Anthem

I am planning to give birth at Saratoga Hospital in Saratoga Springs, NY. I am 37 years old. My estimated budget is $1300. My birth plan is to try to have as close to a home birth as possible but in the hospital. I would like the doula to help my husband help me during labor. I would like the doula to be certified and have at least ten years of experience. I would love any additional help with feeding, sleep, and post partum care.

I have never used a doula before and I think I would love the experience this will be my first time trying to breastfeed after having three kids already and I just want a calm birthing experience I would probably still give birth in hospital I’m hoping my insurance covers everything
