Find Doula Jobs in Medford, MA

I'm planning on giving birth at Elliott Hospital in Manchester NH. This is my first baby and all of our family lives in VA so I want someone to advocate for me during labor! My husband and I are definitely more on the holistic side of things, I really don't want to give birth laying on my back, we want to do delayed cord clamping, skin to skin right away, and more! I want my birth to be as natural as possible. My goal is for it to be unmedicated but also I know things happen sometimes where that's not an option. Not 100% sure what the normal budget would be for this so that's up for discussion! Our Faith is very important to us too so that has been a big part of my pregnancy journey! Would love to chat if this sounds like a fit for you 🥰

Hospital birth As natural as possible but high risk-bicuspid aortic valve-being seen by MFM Plan to use insurance Birth plan: epidural or possibly not, laboring down as much as long as possible allowing fetal ejection reflex to hopefully take place so minimal pushing. I declined the use of a forceps/suction assisted birth. C section is also still on the table. Want to move about freely or if there’s an epidural in place assistance moving, do not want to birth on my back. Minimal vaccines, delaying schedule and not doing all of them. Must be the preservative free vitamin k shot and if not available then drops only. Delayed cord clamping until white or not pulsating. Baby stays in room with us at all times for all tests etc.. plan to breast feed.

I plan to have a hospital birth. Looking for someone that has at least 2+years experience. First time trying a doula.

I plan a natural home birth, focusing on a calm, supportive, and peaceful environment. I want minimal interventions, allowing my body to guide the process. Comfort, safety, and intimacy are priorities, surrounded by trusted care providers. My goal is a gentle, empowering, and nurturing birth experience at home.

I plan to give birth at Women and infants. I think they are planning on inducing me because I am considered higher risk. Our budget is between 800-1000, but can go up to 1200 if it's the right person. My birth plan is to not die basically. I don't know. I know I want an epidural. I don't know what my options are. My husband and I have a history of medical trauma, and so there is some anxiety on his part going in.

What I'm Looking for in a Doula 1.Emotional Support * Someone who is calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. * Reassurance throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. * Help managing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. * Someone who checks in consistently and genuinely cares. * A safe space where I feel heard, supported, and never alone. * Someone who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and is comfortable offering faith-based encouragement and prayer if I need it. 2. Education & Guidance * Newborn care support. * Breastfeeding and/or formula-feeding guidance. * Postpartum recovery tips. * Baby sleep and soothing basics. * Helping me understand what's normal and when it's time to call my doctor. 3.Physical Support * Continuous support during labor. * Comfort measures such as breathing techniques, positioning, massage, and relaxation. * Light postpartum help, such as meal prep or simple household tasks. * Assistance setting up baby stations and making my home feel ready. 4. What Makes a Doula Stand Out to Me * Easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable. * Responds in a timely manner. * Has helpful resources and recommendations ready. * Creates a welcoming, judgment-free environment, especially for moms with little or no support system. * Helps moms feel seen, encouraged, and less alone. * Supports me emotionally while respecting and sharing my Christian faith and values.

Charlton Memorial Through WellSense Still going through a birth plan

I am early on in navigating my first pregnancy. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial in Worcester, but I live in Charlton, MA. I am interested in having a birth doula and ideally the same candidate to help when we transition to home life for a few hours. I’m interested in having an unmediated birth, however I am aware that reality might have a different thought. Movement is a necessity for me. I have a wonderful partner, and would like to complement my support team with someone who can help me transition through labor stages as well as navigate the relationship between doctors/nurses.
