Find Postpartum Doula Jobs Near Los Angeles, CA

1. Hospital 2. Not sure what budget is yet 3. Vaginal Birth

I would like to have a weekly mom group I can be a part of. I live in Kansas. I struggled with postpartum depression with my last pregnancy. It consumed me for 6-9 months post partum. I had to take zoloft and attend weekly therapy consultations. I was on mental health watch from my doctors. My health insurance provided me with a nurse that called me once a week. It was the winter in 2020 and I was all alone. I had planned to breast feed and had all the supplies but no milk came. That is what triggered my PPD. I felt like I wasn't really a mom and I didn't deserve to have a child since I couldn't properly care for it. I felt like a burden to my baby and every single person I ran into (stranger or friend or family member) Their very first (or second) question was "Are you breastfeeding?" and I would just drown from my own grief and guilt of being clearly insufficient; and shut down completely. I dissociated and felt the walls closing in. This mental collapse made caring for a newborn difficult since I was not bonding with my baby I was just feeling worthless. And babies play off of the vibes of the mother. A calm mother will have a calm baby. A distressed mother will have a distressed baby. And so the snowball rolled. I want to be proactive this time around. I want to have a support network that feels real and authentic. A penpal? An online class with cameras so that we can all see each other? I plan to give birth at the hospital and my plan is to go with the flow. That is what feels the best for me. Planning and over planning something like giving birth is a mistake, in my opinion. I want to experience it as it happens. I want to feel the needs of my baby and provide my body with the mental support it needs. I want to have a caring nurse there who advocates for me better than even I can, because doctors can be harsh and rude and labor can alter moods/emotions. I watch "Call the Midwife" and I would love to have someone like that. But midwives are expensive and I cannot afford them. My income is about $40k annually. I do not have low-income govt assistance. I have health insurance through my employer. I plan to take 3 months Maternity leave.

Looking for someone that can help in the hospital and at home afterwards. It will be just my husband and I. All my family is out of state. This is my first baby and I have no idea what I am doing or what is going on at this point lol…

I’m 3 days postpartum with a newborn and a 1 y/o plus a 10 y/o at home. Andrew (my fiancé) will be here until next week, then I’ll be on my own. I want to heal while carrying my toddler. By then, I’ll be about 1.5 weeks pp, and my parents might be able to come over occasionally to help. On top of that, my 10 y/o needs to go to school and be picked up, which is an hour drive round trip. I’ll need to load up both the toddler and my new born, and that’s a lot. I can talk to Andrew about it, but I know he won’t be able to do school runs every day. I’m also concerned about my sleep. The newborn is up about at night and I won’t be able to sleep when he sleeps during the days since I’ll have the toddler with me too.
