**Tamil Speaking Doulas required** We are an expecting family in the Sacramento area with Kaiser Permanente insurance, looking for a certified doula fluent in Tamil and English. I plan to give birth at a local Kaiser hospital (Kaiser Roseville / Kaiser South Sacramento) with an estimated due date of March 7, 2027. Our goal is a supported, low-intervention hospital birth, and we need continuous in-person labor support, prenatal preparation, and comfort measures. For postpartum care, we are looking for newborn feeding support, maternal recovery assistance, and familiarity with South Asian/Tamil postpartum practices. Our budget relies on Kaiser Permanente insurance coverage, so we are seeking a certified doula who is in-network, contracted with Kaiser, or experienced with Kaiser reimbursement and claims. We prefer a provider with 2+ years of experience and are fully open to doulas traveling from the Bay Area or Northern California region.

Plan to give birth at the hospital. Looking for a doula or midwife to be there in the hospital and also a lactation specialist as I plan to breastfeed. Not entirely sure how much everything cost but would like to stay on the cheaper side of the budget.

I would love some birthing support! Hoag Irvine birth center or Providence Mission Viejo is where I will give birth. This is my second baby, and the first time I got the epidural but it didn’t work. I would love to learn new positions and other pain relief during birth and not use the epidural. My husband is deployed now, and might not be there for the birth.

Asking to see if we can have Doula help us out postpartum for baby needs and my wife's needs. I'm active duty with Tricare Prime and my wife is on a Tricare Select.

I plan to give birth at Eisenhower Medical Center.

Hi , I’m looking for a postpartum doula or postpartum caregiver who can provide support during the last few weeks of pregnancy and after delivery. I’m especially interested in postpartum massage, belly binding (Bengkung), postpartum recovery care, and lactation/breastfeeding support.

I am looking for a birth and postpartum doula that is covered by Kaiser insurance, who is very knowledgeable about the birth process, potential complications and newborn care, who is open to attending hospitals births. I am planning to give birth at Kaiser South Bay Harbor City. I would like to labor at home with my partner and the doula for as long as possible until it’s time to go to the hospital. I am open to an epidural at the hospital but if I’m doing okay or labor is progressing quickly I am open to not getting one. I hope for an uncomplicated vaginal birth. I’d like the doula to know the difference between interventions that might be offered to me at the hospital that are not necessary and what is necessary/ will help my baby to be born healthy. I’d like a certified doula with multiple years experience, age 38+ or older. I am 38 years old, first pregnancy, have a very supportive partner, and hope to breastfeed.

I am planning to give birth at Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center in Roseville, California. Kaiser will cover the cost of my doula, so I am looking for an experienced doula who can provide knowledgeable and supportive care throughout my labor, delivery, and immediate postpartum period. I am 40 years old and this is my second baby. I am planning a hospital birth with an unmedicated labor and delivery. I do not want pain medication and would like a doula who has significant experience supporting mothers through natural, unmedicated hospital births. An important part of my birth plan is having a doula who understands informed consent and can help me communicate my wishes clearly with my medical team. I do not want interventions performed routinely or without first discussing them with me and obtaining my consent. I would like my doula to help me ask questions, understand my options, and advocate for my preferences while respecting that medical decisions remain between me and my healthcare providers. I prefer not to have a routine IV drip or IV fluids during labor unless there is a medical indication and I have agreed to them. I also want to avoid unnecessary interventions related to delivery of the placenta. I would like the placenta to be allowed to deliver naturally when medically appropriate rather than having interventions performed routinely. If medication or another intervention is recommended, I would like my provider to explain why it is needed, the benefits and risks, and alternatives before proceeding whenever the situation allows. I would also like delayed umbilical cord clamping after birth, allowing the cord to remain unclamped for as long as medically appropriate before it is cut, unless there is a medical reason requiring immediate clamping. I plan to decline routine vaccinations for my baby at birth. I would appreciate a doula who will respectfully support my personal birth and newborn-care preferences without judgment and help me communicate these decisions with my medical team. For labor support, I would like someone experienced with breathing techniques, movement, different labor positions, massage, counter-pressure, relaxation, and other non-medication comfort measures. I want continuous encouragement and emotional support so I can remain calm, informed, and confident throughout labor. For postpartum care, I would appreciate support with newborn care, feeding or breastfeeding guidance, establishing routines, and adjusting to life with a newborn. Light practical support would also be helpful, although extensive cooking, cleaning, or laundry services are not required. I am looking for a calm, experienced, compassionate, and nonjudgmental doula who respects my choices, understands unmedicated birth, and is comfortable supporting a mother who wants to minimize unnecessary medical interventions while remaining open to medically necessary care.

I just need someone who I feel can educate me on what I don’t know and someone who is interested in helping me advocate for myself. I keep feeling like the medical industry isn’t interested in helping me and I just want someone who cares about helping and wants to be there

My name is Ely Anne Hornsby. My due date is 10/31/26, insurance is Tricare West and zip code is DTLA 90015. Thank you.

I plan on giving birth in a hospital. This is my first pregnancy so I’m not 100% certain on how I want my birth plan to look like. I would like some help with meal prep and cleaning

Hi! I’m a 21-year-old married mom of a 2-year-old, currently pregnant with my second baby and going through a separation from my husband. I’m a Christian, and I’m really looking for a doula who can support me physically, emotionally, and spiritually throughout this pregnancy and birth. I’m hoping to have an unmedicated, natural birth and would love to learn breathing techniques, labor positions, and different coping strategies to help me prepare. I’m honestly scared, and one of my biggest goals is to have a positive birth experience and to avoid tearing entirely if possible. I want to learn everything I can to prepare my body and reduce my risk of tearing. I also want to learn more about nutrition during pregnancy, including organic foods and understanding healthy versus less-healthy carbohydrates. I plan to breastfeed again and would love support with preparing for that as well. I also have questions about healthy weight management during pregnancy and postpartum and would love guidance on how to safely care for my body while making sure my baby is properly nourished. My husband and I are separated, but I would like him to be able to learn how to support me during pregnancy and birth if he is willing. I would appreciate a doula who can help educate both of us on what genuine, respectful support can look like during labor and delivery. As a Black mother and woman, I’m also very aware of the disparities and racism Black women can face within the healthcare system. Having someone who can advocate for me, help me understand my options, and make sure my voice is heard and respected during such a vulnerable experience is extremely important to me. I really want to feel safe, informed, empowered, and supported throughout this journey.
