Find Doula Jobs in Mankato, MN

I would like help with labor and delivery. I would like help with lactation support. I would like help with creating a birth plan.

I am looking for a doula to help mr through pregnancy, labor and delivery, someone to be my advocate, lead me through this journey, and to also be support for my husband during labor and delivery ans maybe even some breastfeeding help and support and postpartum support. I plan to give birth in Hutchinson, Mn at Hutchinson Health. Budget roughly $1000, maybe more. I want an unmedicated, intervention free birth if at all possible.

I'd like to have some help during labor. This is my first child and I don't know what to expect or know any pain relief methods. I plan to give birth at a hospital and would like to avoid an epidural if possible.

My current plan is to deliver at Saint Francis Hospital, but I am open to other suggestions. I heard the Scheduler say that they are going through a lot of changes which makes me nervous. Being in the healthcare field, I know that patient care gets overlooked when these changes are happening. I do not know the average cost of Doula services. Am I able to use an HSA plan? My requirements for the provider is that they have assisted in 20 or more births. I would like them to be a good teacher as I like to learn about the process. I have done one of my physical therapy clinicals as a physical therapist and pelvic health and would like to understand what my body is going through from a personal perspective. My birth plan is in the process of being created. Ideally, as little intervention as possible. I don’t want to rule out use of pain medication‘s as I have no idea how I’ll feel on the day of labor, however, most of the people I know who have gotten an epidural look back in regret it due to it stalling and /or slowing their labor. I need somebody who can take the responsibility off of my husband too help me navigate those decisions on the day of. I just want him to be able to be present and help me.
