Find Doula Jobs in Richmond, VA

Hi! I'm 24 years old and currently 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby and am looking for a supportive, encouraging doula to help me prepare for labor and birth. I'd like someone who can help me feel calm and confident, explain what's happening during labor, and guide me through comfort measures, breathing, positioning, and relaxation techniques.

Since this is my first pregnancy, I'm looking for someone is is patient, reassuring, and willing to answer questions so I feel prepared and informed throughout the process. My goal is to have a positive, supported birth experience while keeping both me and my baby healthy and safe.

Want to plan for an unmedicated birth. Deliver at hospital.

I had a c section with my son 4 years ago they said he wouldn’t come down but was in birth canal when they pulled him out if me. I was so upset as I was 8cm dilated and had labored so long. I am now pregnant again and really want a Vbac if possible. I’m really trying to be a lot more healthy this pregnancy and take care of my body and prepare for birth. I’m so scared of a uterine rupture but I know my body can do this. I will birth in a hospital but want someone to help advocate for myself so I’m not just stuck on a bed. I really don’t have much money but would be willing to set up a min to plan? I don’t know how that works. I just really want this Burt to be so much more peaceful and smooth if possible with no water breaking and laboring at home until I can’t anymore.. I still learning a lot and putting my exact plan together
