I live in Ledyard, CT, but I plan to give birth at South County Hospital in Wakefield, RI. I am still working out the details of my birth plan, but I am hoping to have an unmedicated birth. This is my first baby, so someone knowledgeable about breastfeeding and establishing newborn sleep patterns would be appreciated. I have TriCare Prime.
hospital, Newton-Wellesley under $2000 hoping for VB, epidural, non-induction
Plan to give birth at a hospital (L&M hospital in New London), tricare select covers doulas so hopefully I can find a doula that’s covered by our health insurance. My first was a very long induced labor, about 56 hours and I pushed for 3 hours. Ended up having a c section and would love to try a vbac this time around.

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? Hospital Provide your estimated budget: only insurance BCBS Describe your birth plan: Don't have one yet Describe your requirements for the provider (certification, number of years of experience, second language spoken): It would be nice if you understood and spoke Spanish, but it is not a requirement. Details about care recipients (Age, special needs, feeding, etc.): I am 33 years old, have ADHD, pre-diabetic. Include any additional duties (Sleep training, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.): Sleep Training would be nice, cooking would be even better. I would like some help with the baby, as I am in school and only have my husband around for help. Provide your estimated budget: I am hoping the whole thing is covered by insurance. Include your insurance provider's name and plan details: My insurance does cover Doula, but I may need a prescription or justification from my OB. Currently, I am on my spouse's family plan in BCBS Anthem PPO.

Doula for birthing and postpartum Plant to give birth in plymouth hospital
I am early on in navigating my first pregnancy. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial in Worcester, but I live in Charlton, MA. I am interested in having a birth doula and ideally the same candidate to help when we transition to home life for a few hours. I’m interested in having an unmediated birth, however I am aware that reality might have a different thought. Movement is a necessity for me. I have a wonderful partner, and would like to complement my support team with someone who can help me transition through labor stages as well as navigate the relationship between doctors/nurses.
I am hoping to receive a doula as I am newly pregnant, I am looking for support for prenatal, during birth and possibly after.I plan to give birth in a hospital setting, and I have husky I dont know if that is covered.
I plan on giving birth at Umass Belmont. Planning on going through my insurance. I don't have a birth plan. I need someone to advocate for me during birth. My insurance is anthem blue cross blue shield
This is my first pregnancy, and because I am naturally a very anxious person, it is especially important to me to have a trusted support person in the delivery room who can help advocate for me. I want to ensure that my wishes are clearly communicated and respected throughout labor and delivery, as I may feel overwhelmed in the moment. Having someone act as my voice will help me feel more comfortable, supported, and confident, and will also help ensure that neither I nor my family feel overlooked during this experience. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial and am covered by Mass General Brigham insurance, and I want to take proactive steps to make sure my care team understands and honors my needs.
