Support for First-Time Mother's Natural Birth
Donation protected
I’m currently seeking help raising funds for an unmedicated water birth. This birth is 100% self-pay as they do not accept my insurance at this time. (They are currently approved for PPO and not HMO).
The care at this place isn’t anywhere near comparable to a hospital. With this being my first birth, I’m looking for a team that will make me feel at ease without being pressured into taking Pitocin, epidural, or any vaccines that I wouldn’t want my child to be given. Though I have a right to decline all of these things, this birth center is more intimate and personal which is exactly what I’m looking for. Opposed to a hospital where it is primarily a business which can make you feel like a number (as I’ve recently been feeling at my past doctor appointments).
They offer a variety of care for their clients such as a full kitchen, Swedish bars, bathtubs, luxury beds, knowledgeable midwives, laughing gas (nitrous oxide), delayed cord clamping, 30+ minute doctor visits, classes for first time parents, real post-partum care that comes with massages and an herbal bath and much more. They highly encourage clients to bring a “victory-meal” for immediately after birth which is a home cooked meal that can be heated up in their oven such as a pan lasagna that can be cooked beforehand.
If you’ve made it this far in reading all of that, I’d like to say thank you for taking the time out of your day by clicking on this link and reading this.
Anything is appreciated from a penny and onward. I understand we all have bills and lives, so again, I sincerely appreciate any type of donation we are very grateful for whatever is contributed. May God bless you for being sincere by contributing!!
