I want to do a water birth. On the cheaper side Birth Plan: Baby & Mom Stay Connected My Birth Philosophy I want my birth experience to be calm, respectful, and centered around keeping my baby and me together as much as safely possible. I value informed consent, gentle care, skin-to-skin bonding, and a peaceful environment. I understand birth can be unpredictable, and my priority is a healthy baby and healthy mother. If interventions become medically necessary, I would like explanations of the benefits, risks, and alternatives before decisions are made whenever possible. ⸻ Labor Preferences ☐ I would like a calm, low-intervention birth environment. ☐ Please ask for my consent before exams, procedures, medications, or interventions. ☐ I prefer minimal vaginal exams unless medically necessary. ☐ I would like freedom to move, change positions, use a birth ball, shower, or tub if available. ☐ I prefer intermittent monitoring when appropriate rather than continuous monitoring unless medically indicated. ☐ I would like my support person involved in helping me stay comfortable and informed. ☐ I prefer natural pain coping methods first: * Breathing techniques * Movement/position changes * Massage/counter pressure * Water therapy * Quiet environment ☐ If pain medication or interventions are recommended, please discuss options with me. ⸻ Water Birth / Hydrotherapy Preferences ☐ I would like access to a labor tub or shower if available. ☐ If I qualify and it is safe, I would like the option of a water birth. ☐ I would like the room kept calm with dim lighting and minimal interruptions when possible. ⸻ Medications & Interventions ☐ I prefer to avoid routine interventions unless medically necessary. ☐ Please discuss before: * Pitocin/oxytocin * Breaking my water * Episiotomy * Assisted delivery * Cesarean section ⸻ Baby’s Arrival My goal is immediate bonding. ☐ Immediate skin-to-skin after birth. ☐ Delay weighing/measuring until after initial bonding when medically appropriate. ☐ Keep baby with me as much as possible (“rooming in”). ☐ Partner/support person may accompany baby if baby needs to leave the room. ☐ I prefer breastfeeding/chestfeeding support before offering supplementation. ☐ I would like help with the first latch when possible. ⸻ Newborn Care Preferences Please discuss newborn procedures with me before they are performed whenever possible. Questions I would like answered: * What is the purpose of each screening? * What are the benefits and risks? * What are the alternatives? * What happens if we delay? Preferences: ☐ I would like to be present for newborn procedures. ☐ I prefer my baby not be separated from me unless medically necessary. ☐ I would like to discuss newborn medications, screenings, and vaccines with my provider and make informed decisions. ⸻ Visitors & Environment ☐ Quiet room with limited visitors. ☐ Only people I personally approve may visit. ☐ Please allow time for bonding before visitors. ☐ My support person is my advocate and should be included in communication. ⸻ If Cesarean Birth Becomes Necessary If a C-section becomes necessary: ☐ I would like my support person present. ☐ I would like skin-to-skin as soon as safely possible. ☐ I would like baby kept with me whenever possible. ☐ I would like gentle/Cesarean options discussed if available. ⸻ My Reminder to My Care Team I appreciate your expertise and want to work together. My goal is a safe birth while protecting the bonding experience between me and my baby. Please communicate with kindness, patience, and respect. Mom’s Signature: ____________________ Date: ____________________ Provider Acknowledgment: ____________________ Pitocin/Oxytocin Preference I decline Pitocin (oxytocin) unless there is a true medical emergency where my life or my baby’s life is at risk.

Hi! I am pregnant with my first baby. Will be delivering at Kaiser Walnut Creek. I am looking for a doula for some education/guidance and support during the birthing process. I saw your name on Kaiser's lists of doulas. Let me know if you are available or have any additional questions for me.

Hello, I am in Berkeley, CA (94708) and I am covered by United Healthcare Signature Value HMO plan with Sutter East Bay Medical Group. I am looking for an in-network doula with Sutter.

I am located in Southern California in the Irvine area. My husband is in the military and is currently deployed. He most likely will not be able to be at the birth of our son. Because of that I will be giving birth in Napa California at Queen of the valley hospital. I have tricare and hope to get the doula services covered through my insurance. I am a first time mom so I do not currently have a birth plan per se so I am hoping the doula could help me. I am 24 years old and like I said this is my very first baby so anything helps.

We plan to give birth at Walnut Creek Kaiser. We are hoping to find a doula who takes Kaiser insurance. We have not yet developed a birth plan.

Hello, I’m pregnant with my 4th child. My last pregnancy was very traumatic and resulted in a C-section due to lack of help from the doctors. I try to live a more holistic life style these days and after becoming aware of the pharmaceutical industry and how they operate in the US. I’m very frightened and would love to work on having a VBAC for this child. I would love to get the information on how your practice works and what all is offered and how insurance would be able to help cover some costs from getting your assistance. -Laurin Hall.

We're looking for a postpartum doula to support both Mom and our 8-week-old baby as we establish routines and transition toward a longer-term nanny. Mom is 39, and our primary goal is to give her dedicated time to rest, shower, eat, or simply recharge while knowing our son is in experienced, caring hands. Our insurance covers a limited number of postpartum doula visits, but if we're a good fit, we'd also be interested in continuing with private pay at approximately $30–35/hour for 2–3 visits per week of up to 4 hours each. We're looking for someone who: Has at least 5 years of experience caring for newborns. Is fully vaccinated and a non-smoker. Is certified in infant CPR/First Aid. Is knowledgeable about paced bottle feeding, current safe sleep practices, and supporting breastfeeding families. Is comfortable following our parenting preferences and working collaboratively with us. When the baby is settled, we'd greatly appreciate light household support related to caring for our family, such as washing bottles and pump parts, folding laundry, tidying baby areas, simple meal prep, or other light household tasks. We're hoping to find someone who is calm, experienced, dependable, and compassionate—someone who can confidently care for our baby while also helping Mom feel supported during this stage.

I plan to give birth at a hospital. As a backup, I would like to have a home birth. A home birth was my first option but baby had an arrhythmia which is the reason I chose hospital first at this point. I do have medical insurance to cover my hospital birth. I don’t have a preference on medication or epidural as this is my first pregnancy and I don’t want to commit one way or another
