Find Doula Jobs in Springfield, MO

We are giving birth at a hospital and want a low intervention birth, I would like to not get an epidural and learn how to birth naturally and know what to expect, I don't know what our budget is. I would like delayed cord clamping and for the baby to not have a bath for a little while after it is born. I want to decline vaccines at the hospittal as well

I'm a first time mom, I'm thinking about giving birth in a hospital but still have my doubts. I'm wanting to give birth in a squatting/ bent over position. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO GUVE BIRTH ON MY BACK. And I would really like to find other way to get through the birth without an epidural, but if absolutely needed I'm open to it. I'm really wanting someone who can prepare my fiancé and I for our first child birth, and someone who can be in the room with him and I to be an extra advocator. Him and I have had lots of issues with doctors, of all kinds, and hospitals in the past. We are both very emotional people and just don't want to be talked down to or treated less than or forced to do things we do not want to. And because of our high emotions we need someone to be able to ground us through this and help us get prepared for this beautiful, emotional and painful experience.

I have a low budget. I plan on having a natural, hospital birth. I want as little intervention as possible with everything from monitoring to birth.

Hi I’m reaching out because my over the phone OB said you are a doula that my Medicade will sponsor? I’m just trying to see if this is accurate. I’m wanting emotional and physical support before, during and after baby is born. This is my first child and would like another advocate that will help me through the process and will stand on business with these nurses. I know exactly what I want for this birth, and I don’t need them to tell me no :)
