I am a mother of 2 beautiful toddlers myself and I'm learning to become the best mother for them and woman I can be. Likewise, my goal is to help expecting and new mothers to do the same!

Recent review

I hired Brooke as my doula for my second pregnancy. Even from the beginning she was resourceful, compassionate, and went out of her way to help us and give information about what we were experiencing throughout the end of the pregnancy. When the baby flipped to breech, Brooke provided resources on exercises to try to get her flipped back. Even though the birthing experience wasn't what we wanted, Brooke was there the whole way with us. She provided support for both me and my husband. Brooke is highly recommended!

From a husband’s perspective When my wife approached me about using a doula to assist with the labor and delivery of our third child, I was skeptical of how helpful a doula could be beyond what I could do to assist my wife on my own. I am a pretty hands-on husband when it comes to supporting my wife in these situations, so I really didn’t think a doula would be all that much more helpful from the help I already had done and was willing to do for this third child as well. I WAS WRONG! Emily at Magnolia Births served us in so many ways, but these are a few of the ways that she did. 1) Enhanced my ability to support my wife Not only did Emily assist my wife during labor, but she also enabled me to help my wife in meaningful ways long after I ran out of my own ideas of how to help my wife during labor. 2) Gave us insight into choosing providers, facilities, birth prep, etc Since my wife and I are not from Lubbock, Emily’s experience of having witnessed numerous births in the area gave us all of the necessary information we needed in order to find the right people and the right location for our specific circumstances surrounding the birth of our third child. 3) Another knowledgeable person in your corner during a stressful situation I was surprised by Emily’s knowledge. I knew she had prepared herself with many classes in order to serve her clients well, but Emily always had helpful information and a plan B, C, D, etc ready in case the Plan A didn’t go as planned. She is more than prepared for any situation with her knowledge and experience. I really agreed to using a doula because I knew my wife would feel more comfortable in attempting a VBA2C with a doula, but now I can say after the delivery of my third child and successful VBA2C that I will be the first one to call Emily should we need her services again! Thank you, Emily!

Doula Services FAQs

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 Odessa, TX?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally needed 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.

How much does a birth doula cost in Odessa, TX?

The cost of a doula in Odessa, TX can vary depending on the individual doula and the services they offer. On average, the cost of hiring a doula in Odessa, TX can range from $800 to $2000. This cost may include prenatal visits, labor support, postpartum support, and other services. It's important to research and interview potential doulas to find one that fits your budget and needs.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Odessa, TX?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a doula in Odessa, TX, depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. Some insurance companies may offer partial or full coverage for doula services, especially if they are considered to contribute to maternal or newborn health. However, many plans still do not cover doulas, as they are often viewed as a non-medical support service. You should contact your insurance provider directly to ask about coverage for doulas and inquire if reimbursement options are available. Additionally, some doulas may offer sliding scales or payment plans to make their services more accessible.

What types of doulas are for hire in Odessa, TX?

In Odessa, TX, you can find various types of doulas available for hire to support individuals during different stages of the reproductive journey. Birth doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support during labor and delivery. Postpartum doulas assist families after childbirth, helping with newborn care, breastfeeding support, and household tasks. Some doulas also offer services as antepartum doulas, supporting individuals with high-risk pregnancies or those requiring bed rest. Additionally, there are fertility doulas who help individuals and couples navigate the processes of conception and fertility treatments, as well as bereavement doulas who provide compassionate support during pregnancy or infant loss. Each type of doula offers specialized care tailored to the unique needs of families during these significant life events.

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.
