Find Birth Doula Jobs Near East Orange, NJ

Status: 21 Weeks | First Pregnancy Insurance: United FAMIS Moms (Medicaid) Location: Stafford, VA ​I am 21 weeks into a high-risk pregnancy and am looking for a new doula to join my care team. After waiting 10 years for this miracle, I’ve spent this pregnancy navigating some very difficult hurdles and I’m really looking forward to finally having some peace and consistent support. ​My Journey So Far: ​Medical & Career Hurdles: Early delays in my medical care made it impossible to get work accommodations in time, which unfortunately led to me being fired. ​The "Shuffling" Challenge: I’ve seen 4 different doctors plus the ER since January. I’m often sent for labs without getting to discuss the results with the same provider. This lack of continuity is causing a lot of physical stress, and I’m looking for someone to help me stabilize this process. ​Communication Needs: I am transitioning from my current doula because I’ve realized I need a more "hands-on" style of communication. A 3-4 day wait for a reply has been difficult for me; I’m hoping to find someone who can check in more regularly and help me tackle specific tasks as they come up. ​What I’m Looking For in a Doula: ​A True Advocate: Someone to help me feel heard in the medical system and ensure my care plan is consistent. ​Goal-Oriented Support: I’m looking for someone who enjoys the "resource" side of birth work—helping find solutions for things like housing transitions, move-out volunteers, and medical coordination. ​Mandatory Requirements: ​Insurance: Please be a credentialed provider with United FAMIS Moms. I am unable to pay out-of-pocket at this time. ​Platform Messaging: Please message me here on BornBir so I can keep my notifications in one place!

1. hospital 2. Unsure on budget and how all of this works! 3. I would love to try and have an unmedicated birth with no medical interventions. Delayed cord clamping, the golden hour, etc. Looking for someone to educate and support me through this process, and also advocate for the kind of birth I want. Also support if I decide to have an epidural. I want to breastfeed right after birth and looking for support from someone knowledgeable through that process as well.

Want to do hospital birth No idea for budget No birth plan yet

Birth at home would be awesome but also consider at hospital with the minimum intervention if possible. Budget $3000-$4000 Plan birth not complete yet

I want a home water birth for my 4th child, but I'm open to delivering in a hospital with proper support. I've never been delivered by any of the OBs I've seen for prenatal care in my previous pregnancies. The most important thing for me is to work with someone who will see me through the entire process of prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care.

I would like a doula that speaks Spanish, I only need it for the birth, it is what I need most because I will be alone and I do not speak English. Whether for Rochester or Buffalo, and preferably that you accept Medicaid insurance.

Hospital Vbac after an emergency csection Pregnant with bad anxiety from previous birth

Hospitals NEVER listen to concerns or serious problems with me. I need help advocating for myself and understanding everything in a way that isn’t going off of a doctor’s lunch plans. A large example is my experience with severe birth trauma. My first daughter was an emergency C-section due to a car accident I was in. My 2nd daughter was meconium in utero and the doctor didn’t take my clotting disorder seriously to the point I nearly died. I was also put on a spinal block that took 45 minutes to work and it wore off completely before they even started the procedure but failed to document the horrific outcome. My 3rd daughter was planned as a VBAC and I was promised I’d get it, but the doctor claimed that being at 4cm for 1 hour “isn’t considered progressing” despite me still actively progressing and no distress or complications of any kind but she told me that I either get the C-section she pushed or she’d get my children taken from me if I didn’t comply. The spinal block didn’t work whatsoever and I was screaming in unimaginable pain but was told to “get over it” and to “stop being dramatic”. I assumed they gave me something to knock me out but they told me later on that they didn’t. I had remained unconscious for several hours because my body shut down from unnatural pain to that degree. I wasn’t even able to hear my daughter’s first cries. These concerns were brought to her attention prior and I told her she needed to put me under general anesthesia to do the operation but she blatantly refused. I later learned she went against EVERYTHING in my birth plan including my backup in case of a C-section because she “needed more experience”. Now I’ve gone through this pregnancy with extreme complications and have told them repeatedly about needing to be put under with general anesthesia but they aren’t working with me at all. I’m terrified of going through this again and no one seems to listen. They go off the notes of people who lied so they didn’t lose their jobs and it could VERY easily kill me this time due to my medical issues happening currently. I’m more terrified of them not listening and acting appropriately to the situation than I am at the thought of allowing myself to push during contractions and risk my uterus rupturing just to avoid that surgery going wrong AGAIN. I’m planning to give birth at Sister’s Charity Hospital in Buffalo. I need someone who’s covered by my insurance. I can give my birth plan when I match with someone. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
