Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Blaine, MN

Hi Maggie! In my past two births, I’ve experienced long, stalled, painful labors and have needed inductions. Because of that, I’m really looking for strong, hands-on support during labor—especially someone experienced with helping labor progress, using positioning, movement, and comfort techniques. I’m particularly interested in approaches like optimal positioning (Spinning Babies–type techniques), as well as support during longer or induced labors. It’s also important to me that my doula has experience/comfortability supporting diverse families or are mindful of cultural/religious preferences.

Planning to deliver at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. Estimated budged $1500. I would like to try to have an unmedicated birth. Looking for a doula to help with this process.

Wii need someone that can help with child education, feeding and tips

I feel comfortable at MG hospital. This is my second birth- first was a c section. Im hoping for as close to a natural birth as possible. If we have to get intervention its not the end of the world but definitely doing our best to avoid another c section. With my last delivery we went to the hospital way too early. I want to labor at home as much as possible. Last time I didnt have an advocate much less an informed advocate. I want to make sure I dont make that mistake again. Budget wise under 3k for out of pocket, im currently looking for a job so im not sure what insurance coverage will look like (im technically still on my husbands plan, but ive left the relationship and will be filing for divorce sooner rather than later so i dont want to rely on his insurance)

I would just like to be educated on how to give birth and educated on childbirth and just a support system I plan on giving birth at the hospital

I am really wanted someone that can give me insight and help on achieving one of my biggest goals of going fully unmediated. I have thought about doing a home birth as I will feel more comfortable but I worry about if something goes wrong or do I go to the hospital after I give birth? I have also thought about making a birth plan and finding a hospital that won’t come in and question me 24/7 or give any pushback when I or my husband says no to something. We are hoping to go through insurance but if not possible then can talk about budget.

I plan to give birth in the hospital. I do not have a budget yet because I am still learning the price ranges of what I need. I hope to have a natural, vaginal birth using research-backed techniques.

We are first time parents-to-be that desire a little extra support to ensure we are preparing the right way, curb our fears, and someone to be there for the birth of our child. Hospital birth planned Budget $2000 Aiming for natural birth but supportive of other procedures if required

Hi there! This is a first pregnancy/child for myself and my partner, Charles. Doulas have come highly recommended from family and friends and we look forward to working with one of you! Our main priorities are education and advocacy support. We are both new to this journey and will greatly benefit from open, transparent conversations about our options, items we may not even think to ask about, and creating a plan (plus plans b, c, d and more) that we’re all comfortable with and on the same page about. Prior to this pregnancy, I’ve always been on the “drugs ASAP” train for birth. As I’ve read and started educating myself, I would like evidence-based information on natural births and waiting until 7-8cm before introducing an epidural. My goal is a vaginal birth if it is safe for me and baby and anything to reduce tearing and long-term pain is my preference if possible. I want to give birth in a hospital setting because I feel safest in a setting with all of the medical staff and resources that may be necessary. Regarding advocacy, I am a high risk mama-to-be. I will be 35 when the baby is born, I have a high BMI and I have been a type II diabetic for years. I’m blessed to have a wonderful medical team and support system so my A1c is in the normal range and my other health markers are strong without medication. I imagine it’s beneficial for a potential doula to be aware of those conditions. Charles and I are both black and are well aware of the black maternal death rates during birth. We want to ensure we have an advocate for our comfort and safety, along with the baby’s comfort and safety, when we may not be able to advocate for ourselves. We plan to have the baby at Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis and would love to take birthing, newborn and postpartum educational classes. My due date is 11/20, but my doctors and midwife have referenced I’ll likely go at 37-39 weeks due to my risk factors. An early-mid November labor is likely. A few fun facts about us! Charles is a high school science teacher and I work in the interior design/color psychology field. We live in a super cute old house in Minneapolis with our two cats. Our hobbies include cooking, traveling and reading. I also love trash reality tv and Charles is a big Dungeons & Dragons nerd. Our nursery artwork will be Pokémon themed 🤣 Hopefully all of that information fulfills the dating-profile-esque matching basics so we can all make an educated decision when considering working together. Really looking forward to connecting and learning!
