Find Doula Jobs in Columbus, OH

My first birth was not a welcoming experience I was being told I had to be induced for hypertension and possible pre eclampsia then when I got to triage I looked fine and was going to go home until I had protein in my urine and was rushed to get a mag drip. I wasn’t explained why I needed it and when I was asking because I felt I wasn’t to that point yet they said I can leave AMA. From there I didn’t have a great experience at first. My practice had an on call dr that wasn’t really reading my chart or didn’t even know anything about me. I felt so out of control and lost. After 24 hours of just lying in bed with no progress begging for food or sleep and everyone telling me I needed to wait I broke down. I was finally at 6cm and they could ramp my induction up. I loved the nursing staff from that point on but I still felt like there was options for me that I wasn’t being given and I tried to advocate for myself and was overwhelmed. When it came to pushing I told them I was ready and to call the dr. They said it might be awhile. After 2 pushes my daughter was almost crowning and they called the doctor but I still wasn’t waiting. I told them to call the midwife and was her head was coming out I was told to wait and I said no and delivered her in 10ish min with the midwife walking in the room. But after that my uterus clamped down and my placenta was adhered to the top of my uterus and the doctor almost had to take me to the OR to get it out. Again I had to advocate for myself while I was unknowingly being pushed full of meds and prepped and said please cane someone else try to manually get it. Finally a dr from another practice was able to get the placenta out. I just would like someone who can help advocate for me and baby and knows my options or can explain them to me. I also want someone that knows me and when I say something takes me seriously. Hospital for delivery is Dublin Methodist.

I am interested in having a doula during the birth of my child. This is not my first pregnancy but my first in 13 years. I will be 40 next week. I will most likely have a hospital birth.

Hello. My name is Elisa Wilcox. I am 36 weeks pregnant. This is my first pregnancy. I am looking for someone who will meet in person to get to know me and my partner Lincoln. It is important to me that my doula knows a lot about anatomy and the natural birthing process. I will be delivering at St. Ann’s Westerville. Since I am looking for a doula in the later part of my pregnancy I’d like to be able to have a meet up very soon. Please let me know if we may be a good match. Feel free to message at 614-955-1305. Thank you !

I am a first time mom, so I’m new to all of this and trying to find the best option for my baby, my family, and myself. I plan to give birth at home and go the most natural route possible.

I’m a first time mom but I do want to water birth and that’s about all I have

This is an IVF pregnancy after 4 losses. I am being seen by an OB and MFM, but would like someone can reach out to easier with questions. I will give birth at the hospital, and my only birth plan is both me and the baby go home alive.

I want to try a natural birth but I’m scared and I’m afraid I’ll get pressured into a non-natural birth
