Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Wauwatosa, WI

giving birth in a birth center. looking for under $1000. natural as possible

I would like to learn more and just help in general

I plan to give birth at a hospital but I do need help with pain far as massages and bathing I plan to pay 100-150 a week

first time parents. 1) hospital (Froedtert) 2) $1000 3) I will be giving birth in a hospital. Labor: I would like to be able to move around and drink fluids during labor. I have no preference regarding IV vs heparin or saline lock. My labor support people will be my husband and doula. I do NOT want people in training in the room during labor/birth. I am open to trying various options during labor such as birthing ball, birthing stool, birthing chair, squat bar, or a warm shower/bath. I do not know if I want anesthesia during labor but would like some form of pain relief. Delivery: I think I would prefer a vaginal birth, but I am open to discussing a c-section. My delivery support people will be my husband and a doula. I prefer avoiding an episiotomy. I want education regarding storing umbilical cord blood and what advantages this provides. For a vaginal birth I want my husband/doula to support me during pushing, my husband to cut the umbilical cord, lights dimmed (if possible), and to begin breastfeeding as soon as possible. I would like pictures to be taken if possible. I want to hold my baby on my chest as soon as possible as long as it does not interfere with medical care (apgar score, eye drops). In the event of a C-section I would like only my husband present. I want education regarding what support a doula can provide in the event of a C-section. I want my husband to hold the baby after delivery if I am not able. I would like one of my support people to go with the baby to the nursery. Ideally this will be my husband but may be a grandparent if needed. My support person with the baby must know what shots my newborn will receive. Baby Care Plan: Ideally I will exclusively breastfeed my newborn but I am open to bottle feeding if needed. It is ok to offer my baby a pacifier and formula. I want education on why a baby would be given sugar water. I want education regarding nursery vs rooming-in. If the baby is a boy, he will be circumcised at the hospital.

Hospital, I want to use my insurance and I do not have a birth plan yet.

I plan to give birth in a hospital, I want to use my state insurance, Medicaid, and I’m not sure about a birth plan as this is my first pregnancy.

1. Home birth 2. $900-$1500 (preferably) 3. Still trying to figure this out lol

I would like to plan for a home birth but I'm already low income and know this may not be an option for me. I would like to have someone who can help me throughout the process or just inform me of what would be best.

I am interested in switching from a hospital birth and staff to finding a doula and having a home birth

New mom giving birth at Froedtert birth center would love to be introduced to services and education would like no pain meds or epidural for delivery
