Hospital birth at MarinHealth Medical Center. Looking for support during birth and newborn care (sleeping and feeding). First time parents. BlueShield of CA insurance : ID UXN910570323

I am located in Southern California in the Irvine area. My husband is in the military and is currently deployed. He most likely will not be able to be at the birth of our son. Because of that I will be giving birth in Napa California at Queen of the valley hospital. I have tricare and hope to get the doula services covered through my insurance. I am a first time mom so I do not currently have a birth plan per se so I am hoping the doula could help me. I am 24 years old and like I said this is my very first baby so anything helps.

I plan to give birth at a hospital. As a backup, I would like to have a home birth. A home birth was my first option but baby had an arrhythmia which is the reason I chose hospital first at this point. I do have medical insurance to cover my hospital birth. I don’t have a preference on medication or epidural as this is my first pregnancy and I don’t want to commit one way or another
