I plan to give birth in a hospital. High risk pregnancy and may deliver early.

HELLO FRIENDS! At the time I am writing this I am 7 weeks pregnant. But I am not a first time mom. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 7. I had a pretty difficult pregnancy and birth with my first daughter. She was born at 30 weeks and she stayed in the hospital for 57 days. My second daughter was born at 39 weeks. My doctor sweep my membrane, broke my water, Pitocin was also given. I had 3rd-degree tearing and with both girls I had no epidural. I want help creating a birth plan, I want a doula in the room with me when I am in labor plus birth and, I am open to added bonuses. I half scoliosis and I had spinal surgery so I cannot have an epidural. I value an holistic approach but my main focus is a safe delivery. As a woman of color my biggest fear is not being around for my older children. Their father passed from cancer in January so safety is very important to me. I am open and reading all the messages I receive. I also live in Milwaukee and would like my FSA to cover the fee through my employer. I look forward to finding a doula that works for myself and the doula!

Hello, We are expecting our third child and are due in March 2027. We plan to deliver at UW Health / Meriter Hospital in Madison and are currently working with the high-risk maternal-fetal medicine team. My wife has a history of DVT during a previous pregnancy and is hoping to attempt a VBAC if medically appropriate. We are looking for a doula who is comfortable supporting a family that generally prefers a low-intervention approach to labor and delivery whenever it is safe to do so. We value evidence-based care and want a doula who can help us understand options, advocate for informed consent, and support our birth preferences, while also recognizing when medical intervention is necessary and appropriate. One of our highest priorities is postpartum support. My wife has bipolar disorder, and protecting her sleep in the days and weeks after delivery is extremely important for her mental health and overall recovery. We are looking for someone who understands the connection between sleep and maternal mental health and can help us develop a realistic postpartum plan that balances recovery, newborn care, and family needs. She is also hoping to breastfeed, so we would appreciate someone with experience helping families navigate breastfeeding goals while preserving maternal sleep and well-being. We would love to hear about: - Your experience with VBACs and high-risk pregnancies - Your experience supporting mothers with bipolar disorder or other mental health concerns - Your philosophy regarding low-intervention births in a hospital setting - How you work with medical teams when interventions become necessary - Whether you provide postpartum or overnight support - Your experience supporting breastfeeding families - Your familiarity with UW Health/Meriter - Your availability around March 2027 and your pricing/packages We are looking for a collaborative, compassionate, evidence-based doula who can support us through both the birth and postpartum period while respecting our preferences and helping us make informed decisions. Budget: $5,000-$8,000 Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Im trying to help my wife find a doula to help us through our first pregnancy. As of now we are unsure if she is wanting to go unmedicated for the delivery so we would need someone able to walk us through those decisions. She prefers that I (the husband) be the one to read all the books and stuff so I would need someone that is willing to work with me on these things so I can support her as best I can. We are thinking of an in hospital birth, due around May 4th. My insurance does cover a doula/ midwife so it might help if you can take insurance but I would be willing to pay out of pocket for the right person. We would also prefer an in person doula/midwife to help us in the delivery room.

This is my first baby. I will be giving birth in Highland Park, IL. I am using Triwest to cover my costs. I would like a doula who can be there for me during my birth, planning for birth, and postpartum.
