Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Westfield, MA

Hi! I'm Sarah. My husband, Caleb, and I are excited to be welcoming our second baby this November. We live in Worthington, Massachusetts, after recently moving back from Florida, where I was born and raised. Caleb grew up here in western Massachusetts, so we're happy to be closer to his family as we continue growing ours. Our first birth was a home birth that ended in an unplanned C-section, and while I'm incredibly thankful for my son and for the medical care that was available when we needed it, I'm really hoping to have a successful VBAC this time. Avoiding another cesarean is very important to me if it can be done safely, so I'm looking for a doula who is experienced with VBACs and can provide steady, knowledgeable support throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. After my son's birth, I also struggled with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. This time around, I'm hoping that building a stronger support system before birth will help me have a healthier and more positive postpartum experience. I'm looking for someone who can not only support me during labor but also provide encouragement and guidance as our family adjusts after baby arrives. Things like helping clean the kitchen, keeping up with laundry, preparing freezer meals for our family, watching the baby when I need an extra hand, and help with breastfeeding since I really want to be successful in that this time around. More than anything, we're looking for a doula who is compassionate, encouraging, and committed to helping us make informed decisions while creating the best possible birth experience for our growing family.
