Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Washington, DC

I want to give birth at home or birthing center but due to my lupus and kidney disease conditions I am fine with it being at a hospital if needed to be. I want to find somewhere approved by my Medicaid insurance as I won’t be able to afford out of pocket cost at the moment. I want to go natural this time, I want to have someone who can help me mentally stay strong as well as making sure all my wishes is followed by during this labor as my previous labor was amazing but not the way I wanted it to be. I do want a water birth as well as my first pregnancy I was in the shower most of the time until I got the epidural. I really want to have a team as my only support is my husband and we have no contact with our families.

Home birth $300-$900 Calm environment, use some of the birthing pool I have, No medical interventions.

Pennsylvania hospital Birth plan: Normal and medicated

Hi! We are in Orefield Pa (near Fogelsville). We are due May 24th with our 3rd baby. We have a 4 and 2 year old boy. We are looking for what I suppose is called a “sibling doula” that could provide care for our boys on an on-call basis when my wife goes into labor. We have family coming up from Maryland to watch them but it will of course take some time between when my wife goes to the hospital to when they can arrive. Is this a service you can provide? Thank you! -Tim and Virginia Hahn.

Never had a doula before, this will be birth 7, heard good things about them, didn’t like last hospital experience, looking to change networks for delivery for a natural birth, would like if it all works out to have someone coach me through

I am in need of an experienced full spectrum doula and an experienced midwife

Hello, My name is Nyesha, and I’m the founder of Essential Mystic Showers, a wellness brand focused on gentle, aromatherapy-based self-care for prenatal and postpartum women. I’m reaching out because we are developing a small, no-cost wellness pilot program designed to support moms during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and we would love to explore partnering with organizations/ people who are already doing incredible work in this space. The pilot is a short, 7-day self-care experience where participating moms receive free shower-based aromatherapy products and complete brief, anonymous surveys focused on stress, sleep quality, and overall emotional well-being. The goal is to better understand whether these types of products are genuinely helpful for moms during this season of life. There are no medical claims, no treatment protocols, and no obligation for participants beyond optional feedback. All data collected is anonymous and shared in aggregate only. We would love to offer this pilot to a small group of moms you serve and provide your organization with a summary of the findings afterward. If this sounds aligned with your mission, I’d love to schedule a brief call to walk through the details and see if this could be a good fit. Warmly, Nyesha Founder, Essential Mystic Showers [Www.emshowers.com] [Social Media: Essential Mystic Showers]

We will be giving birth at Sentara Leigh Hospital, ideally without an epidural. We are most concerned with getting reasonable sleep for the first 8-13 weeks and would like a night nurse for 4-5 nights a week for the first 4 weeks, and the. 3 nights a week for the next 8-10 weeks depending on the need. Other postpartum services that would be helpful would be some lactation consulting and referrals to Pelvic floor physical therapy and being an advocate for the mother. Estimated budget for a night nurse would be $30-35 an hour for 9 hours a night
