Planning for home birth or birth center. I have Kaiser insurance but budget is around 5k Still working on the birth plan, but I want full support during birth and after. Full autonomy to move around as comfortable with potential water birth. I want delayed cord cutting until umbilical cord is white with no pulse and placenta encapsulation.
