Eisenhower Not sure on the budget. Around 2500-3500 Also don’t know birth plan just exploring options

Would like to give birth at home if possible Non medicated Budget insurance if possible

I plan to have a unmedicated vaginal hospital birth, with little to no medical interventions unless absolutely necessary. My estimated budget is $200-$500. My birthing plan is to labor at home for as long as I can then head to the hospital to deliver. The less time spent in the hospital is all the better for me as they give me severe anxiety. I want to labor and deliver without being or feeling rushed. And with minimal stress and extra people coming in and out of the room. I would like myself, my partner, and a doula to be the only people consistently in the room.

Hello! My name is Eliza and I will be having my first baby at the beginning of June. My husband is in the military so I will be giving birth at the military hospital on base in Twentynine Palms. My ultimate goal is to have a low-intervention all natural birth. I'm looking for someone who can guide me through pain management techniques, laboring positions and who can be an objective voice in the room if complications do arise. A plus would be to find a doula who has a christian faith-based view of birth and how God made our bodies for birth. My budget is around $1000. Thank you in advance!

1. Hospital birth is planned - Riverside Kaiser 2. Doula coverage through my Kaiser medical is offered 9 1 hour sessions total 3. We’re so excited to meet our little one and we have been keeping their gender a surprise! I want to share that I have a history of anxiety, adjustment disorder, PMDD, and depression. It would mean a lot to us if the team could walk me through each step of the process during labor, as knowing what's happening each and every step (the what and the why) helps me stay calm. Would love help keeping an eye on any signs of postpartum anxiety or mood changes. I understand that things may change during labor, and I trust my care team to make decisions based on my and my baby’s health. My preferences are a guide, and I am very open to adjustments as needed. Labor Preferences: Environment: I prefer dim lighting, a quiet environment (with minimal traffic), and music during labor.
