Hi ! My name is Nadia. I'm expecting my first baby on December 19th and I'm looking for a birth doula. We live in Easton and I'll be delivering at Yale New Haven's Bridgeport campus, with Women's Obstetrics & Gynecology in Trumbull. What I'm hoping for: a medicated hospital birth. I'm not trying for an unmedicated delivery and I'd rather not be talked into one— I want someone who is fully on board with an epidural and will help me get the best version of that experience rather than treat it as a fallback. Some context on where my pregnancy stands, because it shapes what I need: [personal details hidden], [personal details hidden], and my glucose screening is still ahead of me. At my anatomy scan we learned [personal details hidden]. Because of that I'm on serial growth scans. At my most recent one, at 24w6d, [personal details hidden]. [personal details hidden] and [personal details hidden], but we're watching the trend closely and I'm pushing for shorter intervals between scans. What that means practically is that there's a real chance of a smaller baby, a possible early delivery, and more monitoring and decision points than a typical labor. I'd like someone who is comfortable in that environment. What I'm looking for in a doula: Someone who can help me keep track of what's happening medically and translate it in the moment so I understand what I'm agreeing to when decisions come quickly and advocate for me in real time where I might be physically/emotionally compromised. Help with labor positions, including after an epidural. If the baby ends up in a difficult position I'd love someone with Spinning Babies training or similar. My two biggest fears, honestly: First, being separated from my baby after delivery. Given the growth situation there's a chance she needs extra observation, and the thought of her being taken somewhere I want to avoid at all costs. I want help protecting skin-to-skin and the first hour wherever it's medically possible, and I want someone who knows how to ask the right questions and push back (within reason) if a separation is proposed. Second, the epidural not working or only working on one side. I want someone who can help me cope if there's a gap and who will keep pressing for anesthesia to come back and fix it rather than letting it ride. A few practical questions: Do you have experience specifically at Bridgeport Yale? What's your backup arrangement if you're at another birth when I go into labor, and have I met that person? Do you offer any postpartum hours, and are you available for December? My husband and I would love to talk. Thank you for reading all of this!

We are a couple in a difficult situation. [name hidden] ([personal details hidden] and 19 weeks along) lives in Middletown CT and has one more year before finishing her Bachelor's degree at Wesleyan University.

Dan ([personal details hidden]) has just accepted a two year contract [personal details hidden] in Myanmar, and has been there to working this position since late July.
