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.
1. Umass memorial Worcester 2. Unsure but under $1500 would be ideal 3. Don't have a birth plan yet, hoping a doula can help with one
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.
Newton Wellesley hospital - $1500-$2000 - developing a birth plan currently with minimal to no vaccines. We are looking to avoid all vaccines possible and spending time doing research to decide after 3-12 months postpartum.

Currently expecting twin girls and striving for a natural birth and need an advocate in the room for me other than my husband. I will deliver at Brigham and women’s hospital. In addition to the birth doula we are focused on securing overnight care most importantly, and will also be evaluating some daytime help. Many thanks.

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently looking for a birth doula for my October delivery. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of 10/14. I’m planning to deliver at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence with the midwives at the birthing center, and I’m based in Mansfield, MA. I’m looking for a doula who is experienced with Women & Infants and supportive of a midwife-led birth experience. This is my first baby and pregnancy, so looking for all the advice and support! I have United Healthcare through Harvard Pilgrim, so I’d also love to know whether you accept this insurance, offer reimbursement support, or can provide a superbill. If you have October availability, I’d love to learn more about your services, experience, pricing, and whether you offer a consultation call. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Kelsey
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.
I plan to give birth at Women and infants. I think they are planning on inducing me because I am considered higher risk. Our budget is between 800-1000, but can go up to 1200 if it's the right person. My birth plan is to not die basically. I don't know. I know I want an epidural. I don't know what my options are. My husband and I have a history of medical trauma, and so there is some anxiety on his part going in.
