Find Doula Jobs in Newark, OH

I plan to give birth at Wooster Community Hospital. I have Ohio Medicaid or if paying out of pocket around $1000. I’d like to birth with medical intervention available but take non-intervention avenues whenever possible.

Hello Lacey, I got your name from a woman who services the Columbus area. She unfortunately isn’t able to help me but highly recommended I reach out to you. I am 12 weeks pregnant with my second baby and am looking to have a more intentional delivery experience. I haven’t fully decided on going unmedicated but I have decided I would benenfit from a doula during pregnancy, delivery, & postpartum. I was wondering what all you could offer & maybe a price breakdown. I am in the Cambridge Ohio area, so unsure if you’re willing to travel that far. I also saw you take on a more Christian based type of care which really speaks to me as I am trying to incorporate more faith into our lives & this pregnancy. My email is courtneyfrancis77@yahoo.com and phone number is 840-270-9357. I hope to hear back from you!

My first birth was not a welcoming experience I was being told I had to be induced for hypertension and possible pre eclampsia then when I got to triage I looked fine and was going to go home until I had protein in my urine and was rushed to get a mag drip. I wasn’t explained why I needed it and when I was asking because I felt I wasn’t to that point yet they said I can leave AMA. From there I didn’t have a great experience at first. My practice had an on call dr that wasn’t really reading my chart or didn’t even know anything about me. I felt so out of control and lost. After 24 hours of just lying in bed with no progress begging for food or sleep and everyone telling me I needed to wait I broke down. I was finally at 6cm and they could ramp my induction up. I loved the nursing staff from that point on but I still felt like there was options for me that I wasn’t being given and I tried to advocate for myself and was overwhelmed. When it came to pushing I told them I was ready and to call the dr. They said it might be awhile. After 2 pushes my daughter was almost crowning and they called the doctor but I still wasn’t waiting. I told them to call the midwife and was her head was coming out I was told to wait and I said no and delivered her in 10ish min with the midwife walking in the room. But after that my uterus clamped down and my placenta was adhered to the top of my uterus and the doctor almost had to take me to the OR to get it out. Again I had to advocate for myself while I was unknowingly being pushed full of meds and prepped and said please cane someone else try to manually get it. Finally a dr from another practice was able to get the placenta out. I just would like someone who can help advocate for me and baby and knows my options or can explain them to me. I also want someone that knows me and when I say something takes me seriously. Hospital for delivery is Dublin Methodist.
