Find Doula Jobs in Franklin, TN

First baby. We do plan on doing a hospital birth. My husband is easily queasy during medical procedures. He has almost passed out in the Ob's office and when I got an IV. I think I just want another support person to help when labor becomes a bit much for him.

I am planning to give birth at the TriStar Hendersonville Birth Center in Hendersonville, TN. My goal is an unmedicated vaginal birth, and I am looking for a doula who can provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor. I would love help with breathing techniques, relaxation, movement, positioning, counter-pressure, and other comfort measures to help me manage labor without medication. I want to feel calm, informed, empowered, and supported while also remaining flexible if unexpected circumstances arise. I am looking for someone who is encouraging, patient, knowledgeable, and experienced with supporting unmedicated hospital births. I would especially appreciate someone who is comfortable helping me advocate for my birth preferences while maintaining a positive relationship with my medical team. I don't know my budget at this time.

I plan to give birth in the hospital. I hope to have a vbac, but nervous because my body seemed to burn through the epidural quickly which resulted in me having 3 epidurals. I do plan on having a medicated birth. Unsure about budget. Open minded

I plan to have my baby at home or in a birthing center. Only in a hospital without being hooked up to ivs and other things. I do not have a birth plan yet but i know i do not want a lot of things. im not sure on a budget but no more than 10,000-15,000 at most.

Plan to give birth at hospital, plan on going natural

This is my first baby and I don't like the idea of going into a hospital and ending up having to get an epidural or other stuff forced on me. I would rather have a home birth. I went to my first OB appointment yesterday and they said that if I wanted to have a home birth I would have to have a home birth midwife so that's what I'm looking for. I really just want my birth to be faith-based focused on Jesus and just let my body do what it knows how to do

Absolutely. I would make it clear that you are open to combination feeding and want someone who can support breastfeeding without making every overnight feed dependent on you being awake. We are looking for a trustworthy, experienced newborn care provider to support our family during the postpartum period following a scheduled C-section. Our primary goal is to have someone we feel completely comfortable caring for our newborn overnight so that I can recover from surgery and both parents can get meaningful rest. We would prefer someone with significant newborn and infant experience who is currently certified in infant CPR and first aid. Experience as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, night nanny, nurse, or similar role would be ideal. Strong references and a background check are very important to us. I plan to try breastfeeding, but I am also completely comfortable supplementing with or using formula as needed. I did not breastfeed my first child, so I would especially value someone who is knowledgeable and supportive with breastfeeding basics, including positioning, latch, feeding cues, pumping, and helping me understand what is working well. We plan to take feeding one day at a time and follow what works best for both mom and baby. We are not expecting the baby to be brought to me for every overnight feeding. Depending on how breastfeeding is going, we would like our provider to be comfortable handling some overnight feeds independently with expressed breast milk or formula so that I can have longer periods of uninterrupted sleep and recovery. We are looking for someone who will support our feeding decisions without pressure and adapt as our needs change. We would also appreciate help with developmentally appropriate newborn sleep habits and safe sleep practices. We are not looking for strict sleep training during the newborn stage, but would value someone who can help us establish healthy routines. Additional support would include baby-related laundry, washing and sterilizing bottles and pump parts, preparing formula or bottles, restocking the nursery and changing areas, light tidying, and keeping the kitchen organized after overnight feeds. Minimal cooking is needed, although preparing a simple breakfast for mom before leaving in the morning would be wonderful, particularly during the first few weeks of C-section recovery. We also have a toddler, but my husband will primarily be responsible for her. We are not looking for the overnight provider to routinely care for both children. Above all, we are looking for someone dependable, gentle, experienced, and trustworthy who will care for our infant with tremendous attention and kindness. We want this person to be a calming and supportive presence in our home while we adjust to having a newborn and I recover from surgery. Our budget is flexible depending on experience, certifications, and the level of newborn and postpartum support provided.

I would like to have a natural hospital birth and have a doula to help coach me through labor and help advocate for me with hospital staff.

Hi! I found out my insurance covers doula services, and I wanted to reach out 😊 I’m currently pregnant and interested in having extra support during pregnancy and possibly birth/postpartum. I’d love to know more about you and your availability. Thank you!
