Labor Doula FEE: $1200
- As your labor doula, I will meet with you twice before the birth to discuss your birth plan, comfort measures, and a range of different things that might be helpful with your labor.
- If a third visit is necessary, we can do that as well. I want you to feel that we have covered all questions. From the minute that you hire me, I am available via phone, email and even text, for any reason. My goal is to help you have the BEST birth so please, never hesitate to ask!
- I will be available on call 24/7 with the approach of your due date. If at any time you think you are in labor, please call. Even if it ends up being a false alarm.
- I will be with you from the minute that you call me, and are in labor, whether at your home or at the hospital, until about an hour after baby is born. I will be there for support both for mom and partner and any other family members present. My goal is to help achieve the desired birth plan, whatever that may be, with or without medication. by offering comfort measures,(massage, counter pressure, hydrotherapy, etc.) answering any questions about options presented to you, allowing partner to rest, use the bathroom and eat, and anything else that is requested, within the scope of my experience.
- I will take any pictures/video that you want
- I will offer any help immediately following birth, with breastfeeding and answering any questions.
- We will then have two post-partum check-ups to see how you are transitioning into motherhood. I will help with any questions or concerns that you might have from breastfeeding to emotional changes. I also provide a meal for your family made by Danielle at Sugar and Spice bakery. www.sugarandspice.com
- I am also a valuable source of community resources and referrals. I have a lot of connections for different things that might come up during your pregnancy. Expert advice from professionals is always nice and helpful!
