Find Doula Jobs in Poughkeepsie, NY

I would like to give birth at home but live in a basement apartment so I may need to find a birthing center. I have medicaid insurance and would love someone covered but am willing to pay 4.5k for the midwife and doula. I want a no-intervention birth with Ina Mays style of positioning. I'd like to incorporate hypnobirthing as well. Definitely don't want an epidural or to be induced.

I’m having my second child. I’m planning a hospital birth at Garnet in Middletown, NY. I’m looking for a doula who will support me through labor. My first birth experience was not what I was hoping for. I needed to be induced due to having preeclampsia at 37/38 weeks. I was in labor several days and I pushed for 6 hours. I am hoping to be able to reduce the time. I would like to meet ahead of time and then I’d want my doula present during the birth at the hospital. My anxiety is over whelming primarily due to the experience I had delivery my first baby. My budget is approximately $1,500.

This is my 3rd and final baby. My oldest is 9, I had vet at 20 years old and she was born so quickly at 9 pounds 3oz. My second was a few years later my son who was born at 35 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and it was the most traumatic experience of my life. This baby is my unexpected miracle and I’m really looking for a peaceful labor and delivery experience for this time. I’m going to be having her at Albany medical center. Both my other children I bottle fed and i really would like to try breast feeding this time. I was doing okay but now that I’m at 37 weeks it’s getting real and I’m starting to panic.

I will be delivering at Phelps Hospital. Was hoping my insurance would cover some or all of the cost; but just found out they don’t. Hoping to find someone that is willing to work with me on price. I’d like to be natural as possible but open to any medically necessary interventions to result in a healthy baby and mama. I want to learn about laboring positions and what I can do to reduce risk of tearing

Seeking a certified midwife for a home birth procedure.

Hi ! My name is Nadia. I'm expecting my first baby on December 19th and I'm looking for a birth doula. We live in Easton and I'll be delivering at Yale New Haven's Bridgeport campus, with Women's Obstetrics & Gynecology in Trumbull. What I'm hoping for: a medicated hospital birth. I'm not trying for an unmedicated delivery and I'd rather not be talked into one— I want someone who is fully on board with an epidural and will help me get the best version of that experience rather than treat it as a fallback. Some context on where my pregnancy stands, because it shapes what I need: I'm 35, I have PCOS with insulin resistance, and my glucose screening is still ahead of me. At my anatomy scan we learned the umbilical cord attaches near the edge of the placenta rather than the center (marginal cord insertion, 1.8 cm). Because of that I'm on serial growth scans. At my most recent one, at 24w6d, the baby's estimated weight had dropped from the 52nd percentile to the 18th, with her abdominal measurement falling further than the rest. Fluid is normal and she doesn't meet criteria for growth restriction, but we're watching the trend closely and I'm pushing for shorter intervals between scans. What that means practically is that there's a real chance of a smaller baby, a possible early delivery, and more monitoring and decision points than a typical labor. I'd like someone who is comfortable in that environment. What I'm looking for in a doula: Someone who can help me keep track of what's happening medically and translate it in the moment so I understand what I'm agreeing to when decisions come quickly and advocate for me in real time where I might be physically/emotionally compromised. Help with labor positions, including after an epidural. If the baby ends up in a difficult position I'd love someone with Spinning Babies training or similar. My two biggest fears, honestly: First, being separated from my baby after delivery. Given the growth situation there's a chance she needs extra observation, and the thought of her being taken somewhere I want to avoid at all costs. I want help protecting skin-to-skin and the first hour wherever it's medically possible, and I want someone who knows how to ask the right questions and push back (within reason) if a separation is proposed. Second, the epidural not working or only working on one side. I want someone who can help me cope if there's a gap and who will keep pressing for anesthesia to come back and fix it rather than letting it ride. A few practical questions: Do you have experience specifically at Bridgeport Yale? What's your backup arrangement if you're at another birth when I go into labor, and have I met that person? Do you offer any postpartum hours, and are you available for December? My husband and I would love to talk. Thank you for reading all of this!
