Find Doula Jobs in Novato, CA

I am located in Southern California in the Irvine area. My husband is in the military and is currently deployed. He most likely will not be able to be at the birth of our son. Because of that I will be giving birth in Napa California at Queen of the valley hospital. I have tricare and hope to get the doula services covered through my insurance. I am a first time mom so I do not currently have a birth plan per se so I am hoping the doula could help me. I am 24 years old and like I said this is my very first baby so anything helps.

Hi! We're having our first baby and I'd love support advocating for myself and my baby. I'm delivering at Marin General and my main priority is postpartum support but as a former athlete, I know I'd benefit from coaching during labor too. I'm planning on a vaginal delivery. For the home, I'd like assistance with nursing and napping, taking care of myself and infant development in the first two weeks to maximize these early days for all. I have Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan.
