I’m planning to have a natural birth if everything remains low risk. My first choice would be a home birth, but if that isn’t appropriate, I’m also open to delivering at a birthing center or, if necessary, at a hospital. I’m looking for a midwife and would also like to learn more about working with a birth doula, since I’ve never had either before. I’m 39 years old, and this is my second pregnancy. I don’t have a set budget at the moment, so I’m mainly looking for the best options and would appreciate information about your services, experience, availability, and pricing.
I’m interested in someone who can educate me but also make me feel comfortable since this is my first child
I plan on giving birth in the hospital. I would like little to no interference while laboring. I would like an unmedicated birth. I am 24 years old and this is my first pregnancy/ birth.
1. Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles 2. Hoping to find someone covered by insurance, mine is Anthem Blue Cross California HMO (IPA Regal Medical Group). 3. I don’t have one yet, other then I’d like an epidural and understand if that doesn’t work I need coping mechanisms and/or open to the potential need for C-section.
I plan on giving birth at Kaiser Woodland Hills location. I'd like to go all natural. I want to get help with breastfeeding.
Where do you plan to give birth? I'll be giving birth at Cedar's Sinai in the Los Angeles area. Estimated budget between $1,500-$3,500 for birth support depending on experience and package inclusions. Describe your birth plan I'm aiming for a natural, vaginal birth and want to avoid a C-section unless it becomes medically necessary. I'm open to an epidural or other pain management options to make labor as smooth and manageable as possible, but my priority is a supported vaginal delivery with strong advocacy throughout. Requirements for the provider I'm comfortable working with a doula who speaks English, though Spanish fluency is a plus. Most importantly, I need someone who will actively advocate for me at the hospital and help me navigate decisions in real time to achieve the best possible outcome. I'd prefer a certified doula with meaningful hands-on labor support experience. Details about care recipients This will be my first baby, due in July. No special needs or complications currently anticipated. Additional duties Beyond labor support, I'd love guidance and education around lactation and breastfeeding. I know it can be a challenging journey and want to feel informed, prepared, and supported through it from the start
I need someone whom I can talk about anxiety with the cost of being an older mom.

Hi, I am looking for an in-network doula who takes Anthem coverage for my EDD of Aug 31, 2026. This is my first pregnancy, and I would need both birth and post-partum support. Thank you
Hello! I'm a first-time mom who plans on giving birth at Cedar's Sinai, and would like to plan for a vaginal birth. I'm new to this whole process so am not sure exactly what I'll be needing and am mostly just curious if my insurance covers any doula care. My insurance is Aetna Choice POS II, and my ID number is W2834 19281.
Hospital birth. Hoping to go unmedicated. Need someone experienced with pain management and who can help my husband navigate the process. My family won't be supportive of going without an epidural and I don't know how supportive my husband could be if he sees me in a lot of pain. Delayed cord clamping wanted for longer than 60 seconds, until cord turns white. Skin to skin and breastfeeding are important. No Hep B. Surprise gender. Just looking. Unsure of a budget. Just need birth/labor doula. Not postpartum or lactation because I'm a postpsrtum nurse and lactation consultant
Dear Danielle, Happy Passover! I am writing to you as a well known doula that works with Jewish families. I am the Rabbi of Congregation B'nai Emet in Simi Valley (Reform) and the Executive Director of the Sandra Caplan Community Bet Din. Recently, I finished mentorship as a Mohel under a Professor of Urology at Cedars and a Conservative Rabbi - Mohel. I would like to invite you for coffee (after Passover) or a phone call to ask your advice on how I can best serve the needs of families in greater Los Angeles. Would you be open to speaking? Warmly, Rabbi Jason Rosner

I need someone who I actually have a connection with & also help me with understand the symptoms I’m going through & help me have an easy birth.
We live in Playa Del Rey and planning to have a birth in Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Hills. Our estimate budget is $1500-3000 but this will depend on the available options. I am working with a midwife as my primary care provider, and for now we are planning on a natural birth, preferably no induction (unless medically required), maximizing freedom to move during birth. I want to have an epidural as an option if I need it but I am planning to go without it for as long as possible and see how it goes. I am 25 yo, this is my first baby (a boy). We are looking for a russian speaking doula who will be able to help during birth and also provide guidance in postpartum journey (newborn care, pp recovery). Cleaning / cooking / laundry is unnecessary and is not a primary reason for our search but could definitely be beneficial!
