First child. Went thru IVF. Birthing support and spinning baby.
We are looking for a Doula who can work with us leading up to birth, be there for the birth to help advocate and support me, and we’re considering a doula for postpartum but it’s not as necessary. 1. I’m supposed to give birth at hospital. 2. We are looking to get pricing. We aren’t really sure right now in terms of budget. 3. I’m having twins. I want a vaginal birth. I don’t want to be on my back, I don’t want epidural but if I have to due to c-section so be it. I want delayed clamping, I want the umbilical cord/organ to come out naturally I don’t want them tugging on it. I want music playing, I deal with migraines so if I can have low lighting in the room that would help me a lot. These are just some of the things on my birthing plan.
I am hoping to give birth in a hospital and I would like to find a doula that accepts insurance. I am interested in having a natural birth with no induction. I am also open to having an epidural but I have 3 sisters who have all given birth naturally to all of their babies so I think I can do it too. I'm looking for additional support specifically at birth. My husband is very supportive but he also has some anxiety in medical situations and we both think it would be great to have an in-person doula for additional and experienced support.
1. Hospital 2. Not sure 3. Birth in hospital, no episiotomy, labor down for as long as possible l, no vaccum
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.

Birth advocacy during hospital delivery Assistance with pain management Birth plan includes: no pain medication, no c section unless life threatening, no vacuum or prongs usage. Low intervention birth, will be delivering at the hospital. I don’t want formula to be fed for my baby I will plan to pump and have milk on reserve for hospital stay in case of emergencies. If necessary we can request donor breast milk. I don’t want to break my water, I want it to be as natural as possible. Budget $500-$1500
This is my first pregnancy. I want to have all the tools necessary to manage pain at home as much as possible until I absolutely need to go to the hospital. I don't know enough about this part and need an expert who can know the signs and take charge when the time comes for delivery. I want to discuss my birth plan and trust that there is an expert by my side who will ensure my wishes are respected as much as is possible, within bounds.
