Find Postpartum Doula Jobs in Bowen Island, BC

We would like to have our baby in a traditional setting, but are very interested in having educational classes ahead of the birth (both for the delivery and care of baby) and possibly also at the delivery to help with advocacy. Budget is flexible. Provider must provide service in english, no other requirements other than experience is very valuable to me as I am a first-time mom and both my husband and I have limited childcare experience.

Lord willing, I will give birth to our third-born this October in Langley, BC, canada. I plan to give birth at my parents little cottage at the back of their property. Our estimated budget is up to $3,000 cad, which would provide prenatal care from around 26 weeks until I birth the baby, and then up until six weeks after. Id love two home visits after the birth, and would expect one visit for sure! Our birth plan is essentially to water birth the baby at home, potentially outdoors in the rain!!! (Weather permitting). Id love to have our two older babies present at the birth. They’re currently 2years2 months and 8 months old! Id like mainly hands off monitoring /observing and to mostly be left alone (I think) and to be in the zone and be able to focus!
