Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Bloomington, IL

Need midwife for home birth and support. This is my first so I am looking for someone I can trust

looking for a medicaid covered doula for birth, postpartum, and lactation support. i’m delivering at southwest general hospital

This is my first pregnancy and both my partner and I will be first time parents. I’m looking for help understanding my body as baby and I continue to grow. I live far from my mother and sisters so it’s a very emotional time without that support. I would love to learn new things for baby safety, feeding, sleep as well as what’s good for me as I’m nourishing myself and baby. I plan to give birth in the hospital with very minimal interventions, but I’m currently unsure what a back up plan would look like and I could use some support with creating that backup plan. Our first birth plan is to be very intimate and peaceful but my partner can also use some understanding and learning points for how to support, and where, at the time of birth. Once baby arrives, my partner won’t have the opportunity to be home with us long, and I’m planning to be home for 2 months postpartum. We would absolutely love the night support and the continuous learning. We have family support but we really want the first week to be only us and baby, as well as have strong boundaries with family about baby with hygiene and safety so this is where the help would come in. I feel like there is more to discuss to better understand match, but I am still very new!

Hello! I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and seeking a dedicated, experienced midwife to support my planned home birth beginning in the third trimester. I would like to discuss care that begins now and extends through prenatal visits, labor & delivery, and postpartum support. Here’s what I’m specifically looking for: 🌼 Accredited and Experienced: • Certified and in good standing (please include credentials/certifications) • Preferably has attended 200+ home births and can share examples of past care 🌼 Pain-Management Preference: • Must offer nitrous oxide as an option for pain relief during labor 🌼 Prenatal, Birth, and Postpartum Care: • Clear outline of what services are included at prenatal appointments • What you provide during labor and delivery • What postpartum support you offer (home visits, breastfeeding support, check-ins, etc.) 🌼 Logistics: • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel to my home for appointments and birth. I don’t think it’s fair or appropriate to travel to you if I’m hiring you and PREGNANT. • Comfortable with starting care for third trimester 🌼 Partnership & Communication: • I’m seeking someone who listens, follows directions, and provides evidence-based care • Clear communication, respectful collaboration, and support through decision-making 🌼 Budget: My budget for late-entry prenatal, birth, and basic postpartum care can be discussed. I’d love to work with someone experienced who also offers nitrous oxide or something for pain management. Please let me know what services you include and if we can work within this range.” Questions for you before consulting please answer when you respond): 1. What certifications/licensing do you hold? 2. About how many home births have you attended? 3. Do you provide or can you arrange nitrous oxide for labor? 4. What prenatal, birth, and postpartum services are included (and what’s the timeline)? 5. Would you be able to start care this trimester and stay within budget?
