Find Birth Doula Jobs in Severn, MD

I plan to give birth at Inova Hospital in Annandale, VA. I don’t have an estimated budget I want to try to go all natural. A holistic, Christian Doula. Teach me how to breastfeed. Tricare Select is my insurance.

My husband and I are moving to Maryland from out of state during my 3rd trimester. (Military family!) My first pregnancy was high risk and we spent 8 weeks in the nicu with my daughter. I am looking for a birth doula who can help me both figure out a birth plan, as well as coach me through a more “normal”/typical birth experience. I’m not opposed to pain management, but would like to try to attempt all natural. (I managed this with my last daughter, but my labor was induced, came on very very fast, and she was just under 5 lbs!)

I am giving birth in the midwifery unit of the hospital and would like an extra person there (besides my husband) who is able to support and advocate my needs when I might not be able to. My labor and delivery is going to be as natural and low intervention as it can be. Our budget would ideally be no more than $2,000 I think.

Interested in primarily a birth doula and lactation consultant, and postpartum if needed. I’d also like a doula who is in network or certified to be covered by Tricare. Planning to give birth at Medstar St Mary’s Hospital. Interested in an unmedicated/active birth supported by my partner. Currently 34 weeks pregnant, due August 5.

Giving birth in hospital, estimated budget unknown, birth plan - partner with me, delayed cord cutting (until white), delayed first bath, birth ball, minimal cervical checks unless absolutely required, minimal interventions unless absolutely required, trying to go without an epidural but open to the possibility; insurance - BCBS FEP Blue standard

We live in Hanover, plan to birth in Carlisle. Looking for a home birth experience in a hospital setting. Unmedicated if possible, with minimal intervention. History of infertility and loss. Strong personality and need someone who can work with that. Looking for prenatal, birth and postpartum support. Experience with breastfeeding, baby wearing and cloth diapers is a plus. Definitely want someone with experience in movement techniques to optimize baby's positioning. My insurance covers 1200 per year and we can go a bit above that. Bonus points if we can split billing or do a visit in the new year to use both years benefits. Insurance requires a tax ID number and an invoice.

This is my first child. I just need help understanding and learning the process. I need help preparing me for this birth learning what I can and cannot do.
