Ashley Donnelly Birth & Postpartum Doula in Kingston, NY
About Ashley
I am a L&D and mother/baby nurse (LDRP) with 10+ years experience who wanted care for clients outside of the hospital after seeing the need in my local area. I have been doing postpartum doula work since January 2024, and have started taking on childbirth ed and labor clients as well. I also have a team of other birth center nurses who assist with postpartum care as well. I believe in a healthy relationship with the medical providers, while also advocating for your specific wants and needs. For labor, my experience has been as an RN for 10+ years with both high risk pregnancies, low risk, every intervention known to man, and as natural as Mother Nature made it. I’m certified in inpatient obstetrics and fetal monitoring (RNC-OB, C-EFM).

Labor doula
Northern Dutchess Hospital always, other hospitals on a selective basis. I only take 1-2 families a month for this. This includes in home childbirth ed. Very down to earth and casual, to build our relationship and your trust in me but also prepping for labor. This is usually 3-4 2 hour sessions in your home, give or take. We cover childbirth/labor, breastfeeding basics, and prepping your home for baby if you’d like. Then I’m on call for your labor for weeks 38-42. I come for your labor when you need me (we set this guideline up during our prepping) and I stay as needed until you deliver and get up for the first time postpartum. I then come for 1-2 short postpartum visits to debrief, check on mom and baby, and help with any feeding issues I can.
What to expect
Postpartum doula/newborn care services are our specialty. We offer both daytime and overnight hours, with majority of our families requesting overnight. I also do childbirth ed and labor doula services for 1-2 families a month. This is hospital dependent- Northern Dutchess Hospital is always covered. Any other hospital/home is selected by due date and my availability.
