Find Childbirth Educator Jobs in Southaven, MS

I would be comfortable in a birthing center or hospital in case anything happens but ideally i’d like to have the baby at home, this is my first baby but i’ve been pretty set on a home water birth for a few years, i’ve done my research and feel it is the best option for me and how my body and mind react to pain, i need to feel like im in my own space able to breathe loudly and have help from my partner. I want to broth in a pool and have a delayed cord cutting. My budget is 5k for pre delivery check ups and delivery.

Home birth is desired 3500$ or less In Memphis TN Wanting to stay at home and birth with proper monitoring

I plan on having a home birth or possibly at a birthing center. I’m not very comfortable with hospitals so that’s not an option. I already hate having to go there for my appts. I would say my budget is $3-7k. I’m a very low maintenance type of person. I believe my body knows best how to birth and I trust it completely. I’m all about “if I can do it myself I will” although in this case it’s my first and having a midwife there would make me a little more comfortable. I do not plan on using any pain medication or other drugs/medication during my birthing process, I have also been looking into possibly doing a lotus birth. I’ve done lots of research on home births and the different types of birth/positions as well. I would like to take a more holistic route as I lean more toward that then birthing in a hospital with about 14 different people in the room. I have also heard way too many horror stories about women giving birth in hospitals as well. I want my wishes to be heard and respected not taken into consideration. I sometimes have a hard time voicing my concerns and opinions but I will stand firm with what I believe is best for me and my baby.
