Find Doula Jobs in Albany, NY

This is my second baby. I am 29 weeks pregnant and starting to get super anxious about birth. I was induced at 41 weeks 2 days with my 1st, got an epidural, and pushed for three hours. Pushing was extremely hard and painful for me. She was stuck under my pelvic bone. As I get closer my anxiety about birth is increasing tremendously. I plan to give birth at a hospital. I believe my insurance covers this, I have Tricare select. For a birth plan, I would ideally like to have vaginal birth. I want all pain medications. The anxiety I am having is making me considering a planned c-section.

Not exactly sure. I’ll be giving birth at Saratoga hospital

I would like the doula to be certified and have at least ten years of experience. I would love any additional help with feeding, sleep, and post partum care.

Hi! I'm Sarah. My husband, Caleb, and I are excited to be welcoming our second baby this November. We live in Worthington, Massachusetts, after recently moving back from Florida, where I was born and raised. Caleb grew up here in western Massachusetts, so we're happy to be closer to his family as we continue growing ours. Our first birth was a home birth that ended in an unplanned C-section, and while I'm incredibly thankful for my son and for the medical care that was available when we needed it, I'm really hoping to have a successful VBAC this time. Avoiding another cesarean is very important to me if it can be done safely, so I'm looking for a doula who is experienced with VBACs and can provide steady, knowledgeable support throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. After my son's birth, I also struggled with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. This time around, I'm hoping that building a stronger support system before birth will help me have a healthier and more positive postpartum experience. I'm looking for someone who can not only support me during labor but also provide encouragement and guidance as our family adjusts after baby arrives. Things like helping clean the kitchen, keeping up with laundry, preparing freezer meals for our family, watching the baby when I need an extra hand, and help with breastfeeding since I really want to be successful in that this time around. More than anything, we're looking for a doula who is compassionate, encouraging, and committed to helping us make informed decisions while creating the best possible birth experience for our growing family.

I plan to give birth at home. I already have a midwife. I have 2 toddlers at home as well. I would like to have a water birth. I have an autistic 3 year old daughter and a 2 year old son who might be autistic. I would need help with maintaining schedules and other menial tasks throughout the day. I am also looking for a night nanny to help with said toddlers and the baby throughout the night. My toddlers have been struggling with their sleep schedules and I fear it’ll be twice as hard when the baby arrives.

Looking to get an idea of what a birthing / postpartum doula would provide, as well as a night nanny. I’m giving birth at St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam.
