Find Birth Doula Jobs in Kentucky

I plan to give birth in a hospital, I think but I would like to do a home birth or water birth if it's an option. I have tricare prime and would prefer to work with one that is able to be covered by our insurance. Being military in a small town makes support very hard to find.

My husband and I are first time parents and this pregnancy was a big surprise for us. We are very excited but are also overwhelmed and feel unprepared. We moved to Louisville the week finding out we were pregnant and don’t have a big community around us. We are looking for someone to give us facts and help us navigate the ups and downs of birth and how to prepare to feel more confident.

I plan to give birth in hospital. I have a ob that I am seeing right now. I just need someone to be at the hospital with me and my husband to advocate on what I want in my birth plan for me and my baby. For the doctors and nurses not try to scare us into a medical labor. I want to have an all natural birth and possibly in the water. Budget is around 800.

I'm a transgender man who's pregnant, and I plan to give birth in a hospital. I'm looking for a trans-friendly doula who can help with postpartum and learning how to care for a baby, as I don't have my own parents (though I do have a partner, but she is also a first time parent). Estimated budget around $2000

I am doing some research to feel more comfortable with the idea of becoming pregnant. I am on the spectrum and have reservations with the idea of pregnancy due to increased need for communication during stressful times, fear or pain/childbirth, and lack of knowing what to do for a child. I have researched that having a doula can highly help with this since it can be someone who is a trusted person in your corner. I don't have a budget for this service yet since I am still feeling it out-but hope to also be able to have assistance with insurance ( I am a teacher).

Plan to give birth in a hospital but open to possibly having a home birth. Would like to be more educated about the whole birthing and laboring process and know what to expect when the time comes.

I plan to give birth at Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital. I have passport Medicaid insurance so I’m looking for someone who accepts that. I would like to have as calm and relaxing of a labor process as possible, with minimal intervention or interference unless deemed medically necessary. I am a first time mom and feel I don’t know much but have been doing my best with research.

Plan to give birth at hospital. Budget unknown and birth plan unknown.

Plan to give birth at a hospital. I am not anti-vaccines, however I plan to to opt out of multiple, as well as, space them out. I would like support in being able to advocate for that. I have a high chance of needing a c-section because of the shape of my uterus and the possibility of baby being breech, so I would like a doula who could help advocate for my birth plan and possibly help with exercises to increase the chance of a natural birth. I have Anthem insurance.

1. Home birth 2. Unsure, we will be getting new better-paying jobs soon. 3. I'd like to have my female family members present at home. Water birth if possible. I won't be working all of my pregnancy and postpartum time, so I have a lot of time for prep and postbirth activities.

I need a birth doula to help advocate for me as I am planning an unmedicated birth in a hospital . If possible to be around $2,000 I don’t have everything outlined for my birth plan but to name a few: - no epidural / no mention of the epidural - no episiotomy - wait for the cord to stop pulsing to cut - dim lights - minimal cervical checks - no pushing on my back - wireless monitoring so I can walk around - delayed bath for the baby to leave vernix - no vaccines - dad to cut the cord - food/water over IV - no

I am currently expecting my fourth and final baby, and this pregnancy carries a lot of meaning for me after my last birth experience. My previous delivery was traumatic. I experienced PROM at 32 weeks and was admitted to the hospital until delivery. At 33 weeks and 5 days, I had an emergency C-section due to a cord prolapse. My first two births were uncomplicated vaginal deliveries, and I am hoping to attempt a VBAC with this baby. During this pregnancy, I have also faced some unexpected changes. My original provider’s practice closed unexpectedly, which meant losing the care team and birth plan I had prepared for. This has added some fear and uncertainty that I am still working through. I recently transferred care to the UK Midwives in Lexington, Kentucky, and while the transition has gone well, I still feel a bit uneasy after touring the UK Labor & Delivery unit. Because of my previous experience, it is especially important to me that this birth feels calm, healing, and empowering, where I feel informed, supported, and not caught off guard by what is happening. My ideal birth environment would include laboring in water or using labor tubs if available, low lighting, soft music, minimal interventions unless medically necessary, and delayed cord clamping if possible with dad able to cut the cord. As this will be my final baby, I would love to have birth and immediate postpartum photography so I can look back on this moment and remember closing this chapter of my life in a meaningful way. Ideally, I am hoping to find a birth doula who is experienced with herbal or natural support techniques, and who can help create a calm environment during labor. I would also love someone who can help guide my partner on ways to support me during labor. He is very present and wants to help, but sometimes feels unsure of what to do, and I know he would appreciate that guidance as well. I would also love a doula who is comfortable advocating when needed and providing hands-on labor relief techniques for pain management during labor. While I fully support medical students and understand they have to learn somewhere, due to previous birth trauma I am still working through, I would prefer that students not perform procedures on me during labor, delivery, or postpartum care. Life at home can be quite busy and stressful. I have three children, two of whom are older and involved in school and sports in different counties, and I am also the primary caregiver for my disabled mother who has some mental health decline, as well as my older half brother who suffered a traumatic brain injury and has lived with me for the past five years. Because of these responsibilities, I do not often have much time for self-care, but I want to prepare meaningfully for this birth. Our hope is to find someone who can provide doula support and birth/postpartum photography, ideally at or under $2,000. This birth means a lot to me as a chance for healing and closure, and I would love to work with someone who can help create a supportive and calm environment as we welcome our final baby. Finding someone who understands the emotional side of birth after trauma and can help create a grounded, reassuring presence would mean so much to our family.
