I am currently pregnant with my second child (a boy). My first delivery in short was a series of unfortunate events that ended in a c section. I would to try for a TOLAC/VBAC. My doctors have said I’m a great candidate for it. I plan on giving birth at Baystate in Springfield MA. I am have a lot of anxiety about my birth not only due to the last time but this time around there has been a lot of miss communication and I just don’t want to be worried about everyone being on the same page while trying to have a successful labor. While having an epidural isn’t out of the question or having other medical interventions isn’t out of the question I’d like to just let my body do its thing and labor naturally with alternative pain management methods. I honestly have zero idea what a doula even costs to even know what is reasonable, if it’s covered by insurance etc.

Lactation Consultant, baby was a preemie and still isn’t latching well

I am currently in my 24th week of pregnancy, and have so far had a smooth pregnancy. My due date is July 13, 2026 and I plan to give birth at St. Peter's hospital in Albany, NY. We are open to budget, but would like to stay under $3,000. I am not sure if I will need a lactation consultant, but wanted to look at options and learn more so I can make an informed decision about it. My birth plan is to ideally be minimally medicated, and not have a full epidural. I would like to be able to get up and walk around, use the bathroom, and switch birthing positions based on what feels comfortable with minimal limitations. I hope to have a vaginal birth and learn more ways to prepare for a safe one.

Consultation First time mom Support Pumping Introducing bottle feeding

We're seeking an experienced, compassionate lactation consultant (IBCLC preferred, 3+ years) to support a new parent household navigating postpartum depression and breast milk expression challenges. Our mother is 5 days postpartum and struggling with pumping pain, supply concerns, and emotional overwhelm. You'll assess latch and positioning, troubleshoot pain, optimize pumping efficiency, educate on supply management, and provide emotional support during a critical recovery window. Flexibility is essential: feeding goals and needs shift daily, and we prioritize her mental health and wellbeing above rigid feeding standards. We're looking for 2-3 in-home visits in the first 2 weeks, then ongoing check-ins (typically 6-8 weeks total engagement). We have Highmark BCBS which should cover this. If you have experience supporting parents managing PPD, we'd love to hear from you.
