I am currently planning to give birth at cdh. I’m not sure what an appropriate budget for a doula is so I guess I’m interested in rates. I’d hope to not go over a thousand dollars but like I said I don’t know what is appropriate. I’d like to give birth with the least amount of interventions possible. I will be doing a vbac labor, my first baby will be 2 and 2 months at the date of the delivery and was a cesarían because she was breech presenting.

I plan on giving birth at St. Alexian Hospital in Hoffman Estates, IL or Delnor Hospital in Geneva, IL. I have Medicare primary insurance and Medicaid secondary insurance. I want to wait until my water is broken to go to the hospital as I want a more natur1al birth.

Hi! I wanted to share a little about the support I’m hoping for during labor. I’d really like to try for an unmedicated birth if possible, so having help with breathing, positioning, and counter pressure during contractions would mean a lot. My priorities are being able to move freely, delivering in the position I choose, delayed cord clamping, and keeping interventions minimal if everything is safe. I’d also love a calm, dark, peaceful environment. My pregnancy has IUGR, so there’s a chance I may need to deliver earlier than expected. I’m hoping for someone who can support me emotionally, help advocate for me if needed, and also guide my partner on how he can best support me during labor. I’m planning to use Medicaid/Blue Cross Community if possible, and I also wanted to ask if it would be possible to be matched with a Caucasian doula for my own comfort. Thank you! 🤍

I plan to give birth at Advocate Sherman in Elgin IL. I don’t have an exact budget, an I would just like someone aside from my husband who is able to speak up for me and assist me with laboring the way I want to. I also have major anxiety about postpartum because I suffered the loss of my first born at a month old.

I plan to give birth naturally in a hospital - i have blue cross blue shield illinois - id number u3v825904897

Hi! This is my first pregnancy and delivery. I am planning to give birth at Advent Health’s UChicago at Hinsdale. I was looking for doula services that would be covered by my Medicaid’s BCBS Community health insurance. My hope is to have a vaginal delivery. I believe a doula can be my source of the much needed guidance, assistance, and strength I’ll require experiencing labor and delivery for the first time. I really look forward to matching with a sweet, supportive, and knowledgeable doula that can calm my nerves and make my birthing experience much better. Thank you!!

I would like a doula who can help educate me on all my options around birth and how to best prepare for that. I'd also like them to be present when I'm giving birth, and potentially post partum care. I'm giving birth at Central Dupage Hospital. I learned today that my insurance plan covers doulas that are in-network, so ideally they would be in-network with BCBSIL. I don't know my birth plan, I would like help figuring that out.

This is my first pregnancy, I’m 37 years old, I need help with postpartum support.

Postpartum care for at least 4 weeks.... Holistic mother and baby care

Hello, My name is Megumi and I’m writing this inquiry from Japan. My sister who lives in Illinois gave a birth the day before yesterday. Since I live overseas and unable to fly out there for the time being to help her I’m trying to figure out a way I could be of any support for my sister even if I’m physically away. One of the few things could be to help find her an experienced doula since she and he husband are too busy looking after their baby and helping each other now. Not sure what kind of requirements my sister would need but based on my own experience when I had a doula here in Tokyo about 5 years ago I think someone definitely with certification and several years of experience would be a must, and also being able to cook and do basic house cleaning would be ideal. What’s average doula fee is like there? I only had one in Japan so have no idea.

1) Central DuPage HospitaL 2) I would like to spend no more than $1,000 for a birth doula. May consider other services as well 3) VBAC, avoid c-section (very traumatic), open to all pain relief options but want epidural to be the last resort, open to medical interventions if other suggestions (walking, taking a shower, peanut ball, or different laboring positions) don't work

I'm 35 and am having a low-risk pregnancy, my first child. I would love a doula to help advocate for me, in addition to my partner, and help with emotional support as I navigate this new experience. 1. I plan to give birth at a hospital near Downers Grove (we still need to tour hospitals) 2. No set budget/flexible 3. Early labor at home, low dose epidural at hospital, have a healthy baby, and accept intervention as needed. I'm an epidemiologist and will inform my decisions based on best available data.
