Find Doula Jobs in Pawtucket, RI

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.

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? Hospital — Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, RI. I am interested in using the Alternative Birthing Center (ABC) room if I remain eligible. Estimated Budget: To be determined based on the doula’s experience, services included, prenatal support, labor support, and postpartum availability. Describe your birth plan: I am planning a midwife-led hospital birth with an OB available if medically necessary. My goal is to have an unmedicated, low-intervention vaginal birth and use the Alternative Birthing Center at Rhode Island Hospital if I remain eligible. I would like freedom of movement during labor and want to use different positions, breathing techniques, massage, counter-pressure, hydrotherapy/water labor, and other non-medication comfort measures. I want a calm, supportive environment where my preferences are respected while still having immediate access to medical care if complications arise. I am looking for a doula who will provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor, help me advocate for my birth preferences, explain options when appropriate, and work collaboratively and respectfully with my midwife, nurses, and medical team. I also want my partner to be actively involved and would like the doula to help guide and support my partner during labor rather than replace their role. Provider Requirements: I am looking for a birth doula who: * Is professionally trained/certified through a reputable doula organization * Has significant experience supporting hospital births * Has experience supporting physiologic/unmedicated births and low-intervention birth plans * Is comfortable supporting water labor * Is familiar with Rhode Island Hospital and its policies/Alternative Birthing Center, preferably with previous experience attending births there * Is comfortable working alongside midwives and OBs * Supports evidence-based care and informed decision-making * Has experience with comfort measures, positioning, breathing techniques, massage, counter-pressure, and labor progression * Has a reliable backup doula arrangement * Is available for prenatal preparation and continuous labor support * Is supportive and nonjudgmental if my birth plan needs to change for medical or personal reasons Spanish-speaking would be a plus, but it is not required. Details About Care Recipient: This is for birth support for me during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I am expecting one baby. I am primarily seeking prenatal and labor/birth doula support rather than newborn childcare. I would also appreciate some initial postpartum guidance related to recovery, newborn adjustment, and feeding. I plan to discuss my feeding preferences and goals with the doula during our consultation. Additional Duties: My primary need is birth support. I am not currently looking for the doula to provide regular housekeeping, cooking, laundry, or sleep-training services. I would value: * Prenatal birth-preparation sessions * Help refining my birth preferences/birth plan * Labor positioning and comfort techniques * Continuous support during labor and delivery * Guidance for my partner on how to support me * Early postpartum check-in/support * Basic breastfeeding/feeding support or referrals when appropriate * Help connecting me with additional postpartum or lactation resources if needed

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently looking for a birth doula for my October delivery. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of 10/14. I’m planning to deliver at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence with the midwives at the birthing center, and I’m based in Mansfield, MA. I’m looking for a doula who is experienced with Women & Infants and supportive of a midwife-led birth experience. This is my first baby and pregnancy, so looking for all the advice and support! I have United Healthcare through Harvard Pilgrim, so I’d also love to know whether you accept this insurance, offer reimbursement support, or can provide a superbill. If you have October availability, I’d love to learn more about your services, experience, pricing, and whether you offer a consultation call. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Kelsey

This is my second baby after several years going through IVF. WIth my first, I really struggled during the postpartum period and found that my friends and family were not prepared to offer help, so I appreciate any support (both with caring for the baby, myself after a C-section, and my mental health) that can be offered. I am especially interested if my Blue Cross insurance could be applied.
