When my birth plan was turned upside down going from a home birth to a hospital induction, Candace was an amazing support. Not just physically when I was going through contractions but also mentally and emotionally beforehand. She helped me put together a hospital birth plan, helped answer questions I didn’t even have to think about with my original birth plan. When she showed up at the hospital her calming energetic personality helped me to stay focused throughout all my contractions and she was a great distraction in the beginning part of my labor. I don’t know how I would have done it without her. Just knowing I had someone there with me who is as skilled and knowledgeable as Candace when it came to both my birth plan and labor and delivery got me through so much. I wouldn’t want to go through a birth, home or hospital without her help!

Cheryl Steiner

Hello and congratulations on your upcoming birth! Birth is a gift. Working a birth doula since 2009 has been a great joy in my life. I love walking the journey with couples - providing caring support, calm confidence, and years of experience to help make birth the best it can be. Other than supporting birth, my favorite days include time with my family (4 grown children and one grandson), being out in nature, prayer, and reading a good book.

We were so thankful to have Cheryl with us during the birth of our son! My husband and I both said we didn’t know what we would’ve done without her! During my long labor, she stayed by my side the entire time and helped with any decisions that arose. She gave us honest answers, making sure we knew the pros and cons of each decision. We appreciated that Cheryl was very conscious of the kind of birth we wanted and did her best with helping us achieve that as much as was in our hands. She worked very well with the other staff during delivery which meant a lot to us. We loved her soft, confident manner. Thank you so much, Cheryl!

Can I hire a virtual doula in Newark, OH?

34 of the 45 doulas near Newark (76%) offer virtual support, on its own or alongside in-person care.

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Newark, OH?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Newark, OH?

Ohio has approved Medicaid coverage for doula services, but the certification and billing processes are still being established, so coverage in Newark remains pending. The area has an active doula market, with 25 doulas listed within 60 miles of Newark. For private insurance, check directly with your plan to see whether doula care is included.

What types of doulas are for hire in Newark, OH?

Within 60 miles of Newark, 45 doulas are available: 16 focus on birth, 7 provide postpartum care, 6 support both stages, and 16 offer general doula services. Birth-only doulas assist families through labor and delivery. Postpartum-only doulas help during recovery and adjustment after a baby arrives. Doulas serving both stages provide continuity from childbirth into the postpartum period. General doulas are listed without a birth or postpartum specialty.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
