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!)

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? I plan to give birth in a hospital setting at Pascal Women’s Center at UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie, Maryland. (UMMS) Estimated budget: My budget will depend on what services are covered by my insurance, if anything. I am looking for postpartum support options that fit within my available coverage or payment options. Describe your birth plan: I am still developing my full birth plan, but my main preferences are: * I would like to avoid giving birth flat on my back and would prefer alternative laboring positions when medically appropriate. * I would like my doula and delivery nurse to be my primary support people in the delivery room. * I would like delayed cord clamping. * I would like immediate skin-to-skin contact with my baby after birth. * I would prefer no bath for my baby immediately after delivery and would like to wait until I am ready. * I would like medical interventions delayed unless they are medically necessary. I would like procedures explained to me and want to provide consent before interventions whenever possible. Requirements for the provider (certification, years of experience, second language): I am looking for someone experienced in postpartum support and newborn care, especially overnight newborn care. Certification as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, or similar training is preferred. I value someone patient, compassionate, respectful of my parenting choices, and knowledgeable about newborn needs. A second language is not required. Details about care recipients (age, special needs, feeding, etc.): I am expecting my first baby. My care recipient will be my newborn baby. I will need support learning my baby’s routines, feeding, soothing, diapering, and newborn care. I would appreciate someone who can support me as I recover and adjust to motherhood. Additional duties (sleep training, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.): My main need is postpartum recovery support, especially nighttime care so I can get adequate rest after birth. I am looking for assistance with: * Overnight newborn care * Feeding support (breastfeeding, pumping, and/or bottle feeding support if needed) * Diaper changes and soothing * Helping establish healthy newborn routines (not formal sleep training right away) * Light household cleaning as needed * Cooking or meal preparation * Light laundry assistance My goal is to have compassionate support during the transition into motherhood while allowing me time to heal, rest, bond with my baby, and gain confidence caring for my newborn.

I plan to give birth at Carroll hospital in Westminster Md I’m unsure what something like this costs I don’t have a birth plan yet- I’m a first time mom. I want to do whatever is safest for me and the baby but also in the most natural way possible. I’m not sure what to believe in the mom support groups and I feel it’s just making me more anxious.

Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to reach out and ask whether your doulas are in-network with TRICARE or if you have experience working with TRICARE reimbursement for doula services. I also wanted to confirm whether your doulas are certified through DONA International. We are currently looking for a doula for our first delivery at the Annapolis Birthing Center this September, and we are excited to learn more about your services and support options. Thank you in advance for your time and help. I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Sarah

I am using my insurance which is Medicare and Medicaid and looking for doula that can deliver babies or a midwife

I plan to give birth in a hospital. We’re gathering price points right now. We’re looking for a birth and postpartum doula; we would really like to have someone who could help with overnight support in the first couple months.

We plan to give birth in Mary Washington Hospital, first time parents that need an advocate for mom and baby in the delivery room to have medical personnel respect and follow birth plan.

I am looking for a birth doula who will also do 1 postpartum visit several days after birth to check in and answer any questions we have about newborn care (no expectation for chores/housekeeping). This is my first baby. I plan to give birth in a hospital (Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, VA). I plan to labor at home until I am approaching active labor, then my husband and I will go to the hospital. I am not intending to have an epidural because I want to be able to move around and labor in different birthing positions. I am looking for a doula who has at least 5 years of experience and has attended a birth at Mary Washington hospital system before. I would prefer a doula who has experienced labor themselves at least once. My estimated budget is $2,250.
