Hospital birth. No birth plan yet. Need help making one.
We are planning for a third pregnancy after a traumatic emergency slightly preterm induction due to severe pre-eclampsia in February 2022 and a really smooth induction at 37 weeks for controlled/mild pre-eclampsia in February 2024. Our February 2024 baby died from an undetected heart condition due to a completely random mutation in October 2024. I (mom) am late-diagnosed AuDHD. While I did not have a doula for my previous two high-risk pregnancies, I would like to have one this time around who will understand not only my sensory and communication needs as a neurodivergent mom, but also the trauma that my husband and I have surrounding our oldest child's birth and our second child's death. Due to the many high risks, I plan to give birth at Valley Hospital in Paramus, NJ under the care of the same OB/GYN practice and Maternal Fetal Medicine group as my second pregnancy. Our budget may be flexible depending on when we actually get pregnant, if the doula needs to travel, and what experience and training the doula has regarding not only typical doula expertise but also in supporting neurodivergent parents and high-risk pregnancies. My best estimate is $1500-$3000, possibly more if we have any insurance coverage. My birth plan has a lot of contingencies for medical interventions because of my previous pregnancies. I am a biologist by training, and have done a lot of reading about preeclampsia and pregnancy. My main concerns for a doula's role in my labor experience would be helping to advocate for my sensory and communication needs. I need clear and detailed explanations of what is happening, time to process, the ability to adjust the sensory environment in my hospital room, and movement options. Main part of my birth plan: don't have a stroke or other severe effects of preeclampsia, don't get overstimulated or overwhelmed to the point of not being able to speak up for myself, and do everything we can to have a healthy baby.
Unmedicated birth and no epidural. Additionally would like to avoid c-section at all costs.
This is my second child after 14 years. I am starting all over and it will be my first time breastfeeding as well. I gave birth to my first daughter at the age of 14 years old. This birth and postpartum experience will be completely different. I plan to give birth at Holy Name in Teaneck, NJ. Interested if accepted by Medicaid. Also prefer someone that speaks English and Spanish.
In hospital. Estimated budget is 2000. This is my second time giving birth. First time I used epidural and had stitches plus it was 33 hours. I hope doula can help to avoid all these

My name is Silmi Denayer, and I am planning to give birth at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, NJ. I am hoping to have a natural birth and have been actively preparing my body by doing Pilates three times per week, walking every morning, and incorporating daily stretching. Through my husband’s company (ZS), we have access to Carrot Fertility benefits, and I am also covered under UMR health insurance. I am looking for a doula who can support a natural, calm, and well-prepared birth experience.

Hi - My wife is 29 weeks pregnant and expecting in April. We are seeking a doula who can support her in her journey and in the child’s birth. Our biggest need is not a cheerleader but instead someone who can represent us and our needs with the hospital leading up to the birth and at the hospital during labor, delivery, and post delivery. More like a wedding planner and less like an emotional support person. Would love to make a decision within the next two weeks.
Hello, I am looking for an at home as holistic as possible birth. I already have a 10 year old I am now 35. First pregnancy was amazing everything went well. Vaginal birth. I do not make a lot of money so of ours if insurance pays it would be ideal but I have to explore to see how much it would be so I can start to save now!
