Find Birth Doula Jobs in Pinellas Park, FL

My last birth was a freebirth at home, i would prefer to have a medical team of some sort on hand for a homebirth this time. I am currently uncertain on a budget. I would like to plan a homebirth if pregnancy remains low risk. Labor in a quiet, calm environment. Dim lighting. Minimal unnecessary interruptions. Freedom to move, walk, squat, kneel, or change positions as desired. Access to water for comfort measures and possible waterbirth if appropriate. I would prefer non medication comfort measures first. Water immersion, position changes, breathing techniques, massage and counter pressure, and encouragement from support people/team. I would like to avoid unnecessary interventions when i and the baby are doing well. Informed consent before any non-emergency procedures. I would also like to have clear explanations of risks, benefits, and alternatives before decisions are made whenever possible. For delivery i want to be able to push according to my bodys urges rather than directed pushing if safe unless i ask otherwise . Freedom to choose birthing position. I want the baby on my chest immediately if both of us are stable. The golden hour is very important to me. I want delayed cord clamping. I want my partners involved in the delivery and cutting the cord. I would also like to deliver our placenta naturally if safe. I would like to initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible. Routine newborn procedures delayed until after bonding when medically appropriate. Keep mother and baby together whenever possible. Transfer to hospital if medically necessary. Preference for clear communication throughout any transfer. I would prefer a provider who is open minded to odd family dynamics and who has been practicing for at least 5-6 years. I am 28 years old, this is my fifth pregnancy and hopefully fourth birth.

Plan on giving birth at home. Water birth preferred. Someone that work with my Oscar Health insurance

First child, looking for help with birth and delivery technique's

Hospital birth with as little intervention as possible No idea what the budget would be Do not have birth plan written out yet

I think I might feel safer birthing at home. I want a voice. I also (as a first time mom/ first pregnancy) want information on child birth and all of the decisions i will need to make. i don’t know our budget yet, I just want someone I can trust with me and my baby.

I'm planning on giving birth at a hospital (AdventHealth Wesley Chapel). I'm hoping to find someone in my area who takes Medicaid (FL Aetna Better Health). My biggest reasons for looking into doulas is because I have had a life-long struggle with depression and anxiety and pregnancy has definitely heightened all of that. I don't have any friends who have been through pregnancy or have kids, so I don't have anyone to go to for guidance other than calling my OB or asking ChatGPT. My fiancé could also benefit from some guidance. It's my first pregnancy and my will be my fiancé's first child, so we don't know much regarding birth plan besides that we want our son to be circumcised and we want him to get all medically recommended vaccines and medications. We are open to suggestions.

1. Hospital birth most likely in case of complications 2. Unsure of what the costs are for this 3. Holistic based, but not opposed to an epidural.

I need everything I can get, this is my first pregnancy, I am waiting on insurance to kick in, the ob I chose wants $450 for the first appointment. We are clueless and need some guidance

Plan to give birth at the hospital unmedicated. Not sure what the cost of a doula is so hard to have a budget.

I’m currently expecting and exploring support options for both birth doula services and postpartum night doula care. I would love to learn more about whether we might be a good fit. A bit about what I’m looking for: Hospital birth with a strong preference for a natural, low-intervention labor Support with mobility, non-medical pain management, and advocacy Calm, grounding presence and clear communication Postpartum/night support focused on feeding support (breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeds), newborn care, and allowing parents to rest I’m especially interested in: Your experience supporting hospital births How you approach pain management and advocacy during labor Your availability around my due date Whether you offer combined birth + night doula packages, and what that typically looks like Your approach to nighttime feeding support (breastfeeding vs pumped milk) Thank you so much—I really appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

I plan to birth at Sarasota memorial hospital in Sarasota Florida. I would like something that’s around $1000 or less. I really want to have an unmedicated vaginal hospital birth.

I plan on having an unmediated birth at a hospital, my estimated budges ranges from 300-1000

Birth support to help my partner support me and birth without epidural. Birthing at a hospital. Under $2000

I’m a late transfer (meeting my OB tomorrow at almost 31 weeks), and the only practice that would take me is the SMH First Physicians Group Pregnancy Center, which delivers at Sarasota Memorial Hospital (yay!) but can’t guarantee who my actual delivery doctor/nurse will be… or even if it’ll be consistent through my remaining prenatal appts. I want someone to be a constant through the end of my pregnancy and delivery, to know my plan, manage the vibes, and advocate for me. I want an unmedicated vaginal birth. I understand that things sometimes derail that plan, but I don’t want intervention to be assumed. I’m willing to pivot for my safety and the baby’s, but I know how doctors and hospitals often jump straight to medical interventions as CYA from liability, and I want someone on my team with the knowledge and empathy to guide the situation on behalf. I have a Cigna Open Access Plus plan (based in NYC, but national coverage).

Wanting to give birth in a birthing center and stay away from hospitals. A water birth would be the perfect scenario. We don’t have a budget yet but would like to keep it cost effective and be able to use our insurance. I want a natural birth with as much training as possible to prevent tears and intervention.
