Hello, My name is Adèle and I’m currently expecting my first child, due August 23. My partner, Lucas, and I live in the Mission in San Francisco and are currently looking for a doula to support us during birth and postpartum period. We are planning a hospital birth through Kaiser at the Redwood City Birth Center, and ideally are looking someone in-network with Kaiser and able to accept Carrot benefits. A little about us: we’re a French/German-American couple in our 30s, and this is our first baby. I tend to be thoughtful and preparation-oriented, and I’m looking for someone calm, grounded, emotionally attuned, and experienced supporting first-time parents. My hope is for a supportive and relatively low-intervention birth experience if medically appropriate, while staying flexible and pragmatic (not too attached to anything). I would love someone who can help us feel informed, supported, and steady throughout labor and the early postpartum transition. If it sounds like we may be a good fit, we'd love to connect and hear more about your approach, availability around my due date, pricing/packages, and experience with Kaiser and Carrot benefits. Warmly, Adèle

San Francisco Kaiser 1000 Natural using epidural birth

We are still determining the exact level of support we are looking for. We plan to give birth in a hospital in San Francisco. Our primary search is for post-birth overnight support, which would include support for the mom and care for the baby, including feeding, settling, changing, and any associated cleaning. It is important to us to get detailed updates on how the baby did overnight. We want to make sure that the person providing the support fits well into our home. We would expect we need this support 4-5 nights per week for 10-16 weeks, and would seek to get support on sleep conditioning over that period of time. We are also evaluating if a birth doula is something that we want but have not yet decided on that.

Hi, my name is Somya. I’m currently expecting my first baby, and this journey has already been incredibly meaningful and emotional for me. I’m someone who likes to be prepared, informed, and calm — especially during important life events. I value warmth, reassurance, and clear communication. While I try to stay strong and composed, I can sometimes feel anxious when things feel uncertain. In those moments, I appreciate gentle grounding, positive affirmation, and someone who can help me slow down and breathe. This pregnancy is very special to me. I’ve been looking forward to motherhood with excitement, but also with a natural mix of nervousness about labor and delivery. My goal is to have a positive, empowering birth experience where I feel supported, heard, and safe.

Hello Allison, I hope this finds you well. This is my first pregnancy. I am in need of a doula to guide myself and my husband, Shaheen, through the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period (including breastfeeding). We are hoping you can provide us with specific, actionable ways for Shaheen to support me during pregnancy, especially during labor, and during the postpartum period. I hope to labor at home as long as possible, avoid the epidural if possible, and I really would like to avoid a C-section. I am eager to learn about natural birthing techniques and positions that work with my body and gravity. Finally, my husband and I are Catholic, so we would appreciate a doula who is comfortable with prayer. Thank you for your time. Cheers, Elise 925-352-1942
