Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Lincoln, CA

Plan to give birth at the hospital. Looking for a doula or midwife to be there in the hospital and also a lactation specialist as I plan to breastfeed. Not entirely sure how much everything cost but would like to stay on the cheaper side of the budget.

At home birth with registered cnm. Want to know options.

I am planning to give birth at Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center in Roseville, California. Kaiser will cover the cost of my doula, so I am looking for an experienced doula who can provide knowledgeable and supportive care throughout my labor, delivery, and immediate postpartum period. I am 40 years old and this is my second baby. I am planning a hospital birth with an unmedicated labor and delivery. I do not want pain medication and would like a doula who has significant experience supporting mothers through natural, unmedicated hospital births. An important part of my birth plan is having a doula who understands informed consent and can help me communicate my wishes clearly with my medical team. I do not want interventions performed routinely or without first discussing them with me and obtaining my consent. I would like my doula to help me ask questions, understand my options, and advocate for my preferences while respecting that medical decisions remain between me and my healthcare providers. I prefer not to have a routine IV drip or IV fluids during labor unless there is a medical indication and I have agreed to them. I also want to avoid unnecessary interventions related to delivery of the placenta. I would like the placenta to be allowed to deliver naturally when medically appropriate rather than having interventions performed routinely. If medication or another intervention is recommended, I would like my provider to explain why it is needed, the benefits and risks, and alternatives before proceeding whenever the situation allows. I would also like delayed umbilical cord clamping after birth, allowing the cord to remain unclamped for as long as medically appropriate before it is cut, unless there is a medical reason requiring immediate clamping. I plan to decline routine vaccinations for my baby at birth. I would appreciate a doula who will respectfully support my personal birth and newborn-care preferences without judgment and help me communicate these decisions with my medical team. For labor support, I would like someone experienced with breathing techniques, movement, different labor positions, massage, counter-pressure, relaxation, and other non-medication comfort measures. I want continuous encouragement and emotional support so I can remain calm, informed, and confident throughout labor. For postpartum care, I would appreciate support with newborn care, feeding or breastfeeding guidance, establishing routines, and adjusting to life with a newborn. Light practical support would also be helpful, although extensive cooking, cleaning, or laundry services are not required. I am looking for a calm, experienced, compassionate, and nonjudgmental doula who respects my choices, understands unmedicated birth, and is comfortable supporting a mother who wants to minimize unnecessary medical interventions while remaining open to medically necessary care.

Hospital birth Unknown budget Have not made a birth plan yet

**Tamil Speaking Doulas required** We are an expecting family in the Sacramento area with Kaiser Permanente insurance, looking for a certified doula fluent in Tamil and English. I plan to give birth at a local Kaiser hospital (Kaiser Roseville / Kaiser South Sacramento) with an estimated due date of March 7, 2027. Our goal is a supported, low-intervention hospital birth, and we need continuous in-person labor support, prenatal preparation, and comfort measures. For postpartum care, we are looking for newborn feeding support, maternal recovery assistance, and familiarity with South Asian/Tamil postpartum practices. Our budget relies on Kaiser Permanente insurance coverage, so we are seeking a certified doula who is in-network, contracted with Kaiser, or experienced with Kaiser reimbursement and claims. We prefer a provider with 2+ years of experience and are fully open to doulas traveling from the Bay Area or Northern California region.

Planning to give birth in a hospital. Looking for someone who takes insurance or payment plans. Second birth and am aiming to birth unmediated.

I’m Not actually pregnant yet, but I’ve just moved to colusa and I am considering starting to try for my third baby. I am interested in having a home birth for my third. I had planned an home birth for my first but that got derailed due to the water supply to my home becoming contaminated (I lived in Alaska at the time) I did not try to plan a home birth for my second as I had a gut feeling I shouldnt. I ended up with Gestational Hypertension at 38 weeks a got induced, but preeclampsia was ruled out. Then we had tongue tie issues with my second baby that negatively impacted breastfeeding. I breastfed my first for 2 years and wanted to do the same for my second but that didn’t happen. I saw a lactation consultant and got the tongue tie revised but by the time we caught it my supply had already dropped significantly and it unfortunately never recovered. So this time I plan to have the tongue tie revision scheduled before the baby is born (the surgeon assessed my first child too. He also has ties but they weren’t quite as severe and he learned to compensate) and a lactation consultant lined up ahead of time. I really want to create an oversupply this time and be able to keep expressed milk in the freezer along with exclusively breastfeeding baby.
