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.

Plan to give birth in hospital, unsure of birthplan

I currently go to Signature OBGYN in Columbia,MD so I will be giving birth in Howard County Hospital. I’m currently looking for someone that takes my insurance which is WellPoint. For my birth plan I would to have a unmedicated birth.

I’m looking for additional support that is affordable for labor and potentially post-partum. My husband is amazing and will be there, but my research suggests that having a doula can help to avoid unnecessary C-sections and episiotomies. I am NOT looking to do a natural birth and my research concludes that I absolutely will want an epidural, as the benefits outweigh the labor pain risks for me. That being said, I want an advocate who understands birthing. Someone who will be able to communicate with the doctors in instances where I cannot. I can’t expect my husband to do all of this, and I may be incapacitated/not thinking straight. Looking for someone with experience supporting brown and black mothers, being our advocates, and standing up for us for our needs and wants. For example, I’d like to do a vaginal birth with an epidural, and be able to move around and be in the best position, whatever it takes for labor to go the most smoothly if it is uncomplicated. I also want to be sure that the baby received skin to skin contact from both me and my husband. Other than that, I’d like to simply learn more about the support I’d receive as well as potentially have someone with the right touch to provide massage or comfort during this time. This is my first child and I’d like to ease my anxiety as much as possible. I’d like to understand the types of support I could get for about $1,500 but we can discuss options. We plan to give birth at Georgetown University Hospital and I am currently a Medstar patient.
