Find Postpartum Doula Jobs in San Jose, CA

I need a night doula who can take full ownership of the baby’s needs during night when I am not the first responder. I need someone to autonomously handle the feeding, the diaper changes, and the soothing.

I have Kaiser HMO plan. Plan to give birth in hospital. I have hip arthritis with limited hip mobility in one leg. Other leg is perfectly fine. I want to explore if vaginal birth is possible for me. I want to know about alternate birthing positions.

I have Kaiser insurance and am planning on giving birth at Kaiser Santa Clara. My birth plan is to be open to assistance or suggestions from professional support. I would like to try different types of pain management and am open to all if necessary. Ideally I do not want to have an IV so movement is possible. I would like to have delayed chord clamping if possible. Skin to skin and golden hour are important to me. My husband will be in the room and is very kind and attentive. I would like to have contact after birth as it is my first child and I’m sure there will be questions, but we don’t need help like cooking, cleaning, or laundry.

Someone to advocate for me in the hectic moments of delivery and contractions to help me feel focused and give me knowledgeable insights with methods and positions on how to manage pain during contractions. I have a lot of anxiety going into my second pregnancy after a HORRIBLE experience with my epidural during my stay at Kaiser. The first one didn’t work, and the second one resulted in a spinal headache, and a nurse accidentally gave me too much/extra dosage of the epidural and my legs were pointless and hanging so my mom/husband had to carry them which was even harder to push my 9.7 pound son out. I just want to feel supported and safe.
