My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy. It is necessary for me to mention that I (father/husband ) am 39 years of age and my wife is 42 at the time of pregnancy and delivery of our first born. We suffered two previous miscarriages about a year before a successful pregnancy journey. We spoke to a few medical professionals who were at best cordially sympathetic when it came to our painful journey up to that point, most felt the need to reiterate statistics we were very well acquainted with. Natalie was and is different. From the moment we met she was encouraging, engaging, informative, communicative and so much more. She listened and sought to understand our desires for alternative approaches to the traditional medical system. She prepared my wife with practical tools and exercises as well as the mental, emotional and spiritual support that gave us confidence in the completely natural and magnificent act of giving birth. The moment we knew we were approaching the early labor stage, Natalie made her way to our home 4 hours away and gave us the hands on guidance we needed at every stage of labor. She let my wife lead and listened and responded and was in tune with my wife and our midwife at every hour of delivery. She was a perfect buffer between us and the hospital staff. The delivery was an experience like no other and I am so grateful to have had Natalie by our side. We will be trying for another child and we already notified Natalie that we will be keeping her as apart of our team. You will not regret having this women as a part of your pregnancy, labor and birth journey
— Isaac M., review of Natalie Jacobson
I really wanted a VBAC after a traumatic birth with my first. Angelee really listened to me and I felt safe even when I thought doctors weren’t going to listen to me after arguing with one even before they admitted me post my water breaking. Angelee stayed in contact with me from the time my water broke until I felt I needed her at the hospital. After 39 hours from the time my water broke until I gave birth, Angelee was there for me using different strategies to help me on my VBAC journey. I’m truly grateful to have had her on my side when going though something that brought back so many memories and feelings that I wanted to forget. I truly don’t think a VBAC would’ve been possible without her. 🤍

I had such a great experience with Angelee. As a first time mom, I felt so much more prepared for labor/delivery and felt more aware of what to expect than I ever could have on our own. I had a goal of an unmedicated birth and truly think Angelee is one of the main reasons I was able to achieve that goal! She helped advocate and ask questions I didn’t even know to ask and helped me understand exactly what was happening. I had an amazing first birth experience thanks to Angelee and her guidance!

What is a doula and why should you hire one?
A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.
Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Bentonville, AR?
To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.
Are doulas covered by insurance in Bentonville, AR?
Arkansas Medicaid does not cover doula services as a separate benefit. Bentonville families generally pay out of pocket or look for community-based doula programs, with 7 doulas listed within 60 miles. Private insurance coverage may differ by plan, so check directly with your insurer.
What types of doulas are for hire in Bentonville, AR?
Four of the 10 doulas within 60 miles of Bentonville use a general doula designation, while three offer birth support only, two provide postpartum care only, and one serves both stages. Birth-only doulas focus on guidance and comfort during labor and birth. Postpartum-only doulas assist families with recovery and adjustment after a baby arrives. The doula covering both birth and postpartum provides support across both periods. General doula listings use a broader service label without specifying one of those care categories.
When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?
You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.
What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?
A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
