We hired Chris Scarlett for the birth of our 7th baby. We were returning to the hospital after home births and I wanted to make sure there was someone who could advocate for my desires in a hospital setting. Chris was everything we could hope for and MORE! She is encyclopedic in her knowledge of birth, breastfeeding, hospital policy, and postpartum health (she is also a postpartum doula). I felt so confident asking her to help educate me on any topic. She came fully prepared to show me all the options available for a wide variety of birth plans. I felt totally free to develop my own birth plan and that she would advocate for my desires. She helped me as my due date approached know what kind of exercises and movements could help get my baby in position and provide relief from undesirable pregnancy symptoms. She helped keep me calm and focused on my desires for this birth when I went 9 days overdue! When I was in active labor, she came to my home and helped me get dressed, pack the car, time contractions etc. Once in the hospital, I was already in transition and almost non-verbal. Chris knew exactly what to do (parking, check-in, making the attending aware of my birth plan, preparing the birth room, preparing the hospital's stool, ball, CUB, bathtub). She is an incredibly clear communicator - firm, but respectful to hospital staff. She was with me and my husband in every contraction, letting him know how he could help me. She suggested position changes, made sure I had adequate hydration and nutrients. Once the baby was delivered, she helped protect my “Golden Hour” based on my desires, helped establish breastfeeding, get clean and changed, and stayed until we were settled in the recovery room. We both recommend her 100%!!!
— Teresa G., review of Christine Scarlett
We had such a wonderful experience working with Christine, and I truly don’t think we would have accomplished the birth we wanted without her!From the beginning, I knew I wanted a natural birth, but I was very nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do it. Her experience, especially having had several VBACs herself, was so encouraging and helped me feel confident that my body was capable. She prepared us so well with classes, workbooks, and resources, which made me feel much less anxious going into labor.One of the things I appreciated most was how knowledgeable she was about pregnancy and birth while always allowing us to make our own decisions. She would share the facts and sometimes her opinion, but never in a biased or pushy way. She respected our values and made me feel empowered and confident in our choices. Having a Christian doula was also very important to us, and it meant so much to have someone whose values aligned with ours.My labor ended up being 31 hours, and she was incredibly calm, level-headed, and reassuring throughout. Around 25 hours in, I was questioning everything and asked if I should go to the hospital for an epidural. She gently reminded me of my goals, reassured me that I was safe, and encouraged me to keep going. She helped us feel confident that everything was normal and healthy, allowing us to stay home until we were ready. We arrived at the hospital fully dilated and ready to push!She was also an amazing support for my husband. When he needed to eat or use the bathroom, she stepped in without hesitation and supported me through contractions. Even postpartum, she continued checking in and genuinely cared about how I was doing. Breastfeeding unfortunately did not go well for me, but she continued reaching out and asking how she could help. She is calm, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate. We are so grateful we chose her and would recommend her!
— Sarah P., review of Christine Scarlett
Christine is very knowledgeable and supportive! She has lots of resources and tools to help cope with contractions. I birthed in the hospital and she brought Battery operated candles and made the bathroom dim and feel intimate and relaxed. Her Oil diffuser was also a nice touch. She was a wonderful help to in making labor go as smooth as possible! She also offers additional classes and support for postpartum and lactation.

Can I hire a virtual doula in Findlay, OH?

What is a doula and why should you hire one?
A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.
Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Findlay, OH?
To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.
Are doulas covered by insurance in Findlay, OH?
Ohio has approved Medicaid coverage for doula care, but certification and billing processes are still being established before access can begin. Findlay has a modest local market, with seven doulas listed within 60 miles. Private insurance benefits vary by plan, so ask your insurer whether doula services qualify for coverage or reimbursement.
What types of doulas are for hire in Findlay, OH?
Within 60 miles of Findlay, 13 doulas are listed: four focus only on birth, three provide only postpartum care, two offer both services, and four use a general doula designation. Birth doulas support clients through labor and delivery. Postpartum doulas assist families after the baby arrives. Doulas offering both types provide support during childbirth and the postpartum period. Generally listed doulas offer doula services without identifying a birth or postpartum specialty.
When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?
You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.
What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?
A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
