Kirby Paddock

My name is Kirby Paddock and I’m a birth doula serving Montgomery and surrounding counties in Tx. I love supporting all birth goals, but have a special love for higher risk hospital births. Balancing birth goals and medical interventions can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Along with my doula work, I’m also a certified babywearing consultant and include those services in my birth packages.

Recent review

I could not have asked for a better person to be my doula and be in my corner during labor. Kirby is so kind, thoughtful, informative and was always looking out for me in the best way. She helped tremendously every step of the way whether it was with pain management, laboring positions, making decisions and advocating for myself. Not only did she help me but she also helped my partner through the whole process as well. Although my birthing experience went sideways, due to complications, I would not have known what to expect if it wasn’t for our prenatal meetups and Kirby informing me of all the possibilities along the way.

FAQs

Can I have a doula with a high-risk pregnancy?

Yes. A doula offers emotional, physical, and informational support and does not provide medical care, so they can support you whatever your birth plan or setting is. Your doctor or midwife stays in charge of your clinical care.

How does a provider help during a high-risk pregnancy?

Providers who list this specialty have told us they have experience with things like extra monitoring, bed rest, planned inductions or cesareans, and hospital stays. They can help you prepare questions for appointments and stay supported through changes of plan.

Can a midwife care for a high-risk pregnancy?

It depends on the condition, the midwife's license, and your state's rules. Some midwives co-manage care with an obstetrician. Ask any midwife you message how they handle your specific situation.
