Find Birth Doula Jobs in Worcester, MA

I plan on giving birth at Umass Belmont. Planning on going through my insurance. I don't have a birth plan. I need someone to advocate for me during birth. My insurance is anthem blue cross blue shield

This is my first pregnancy, and because I am naturally a very anxious person, it is especially important to me to have a trusted support person in the delivery room who can help advocate for me. I want to ensure that my wishes are clearly communicated and respected throughout labor and delivery, as I may feel overwhelmed in the moment. Having someone act as my voice will help me feel more comfortable, supported, and confident, and will also help ensure that neither I nor my family feel overlooked during this experience. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial and am covered by Mass General Brigham insurance, and I want to take proactive steps to make sure my care team understands and honors my needs.

1. Umass memorial Worcester 2. Unsure but under $1500 would be ideal 3. Don't have a birth plan yet, hoping a doula can help with one

I am early on in navigating my first pregnancy. I will be giving birth at UMass Memorial in Worcester, but I live in Charlton, MA. I am interested in having a birth doula and ideally the same candidate to help when we transition to home life for a few hours. I’m interested in having an unmediated birth, however I am aware that reality might have a different thought. Movement is a necessity for me. I have a wonderful partner, and would like to complement my support team with someone who can help me transition through labor stages as well as navigate the relationship between doctors/nurses.

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m currently looking for a birth doula for my October delivery. I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with an estimated due date of 10/14. I’m planning to deliver at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence with the midwives at the birthing center, and I’m based in Mansfield, MA. I’m looking for a doula who is experienced with Women & Infants and supportive of a midwife-led birth experience. This is my first baby and pregnancy, so looking for all the advice and support! I have United Healthcare through Harvard Pilgrim, so I’d also love to know whether you accept this insurance, offer reimbursement support, or can provide a superbill. If you have October availability, I’d love to learn more about your services, experience, pricing, and whether you offer a consultation call. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Kelsey

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? Hospital Provide your estimated budget: only insurance BCBS Describe your birth plan: Don't have one yet Describe your requirements for the provider (certification, number of years of experience, second language spoken): It would be nice if you understood and spoke Spanish, but it is not a requirement. Details about care recipients (Age, special needs, feeding, etc.): I am 33 years old, have ADHD, pre-diabetic. Include any additional duties (Sleep training, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.): Sleep Training would be nice, cooking would be even better. I would like some help with the baby, as I am in school and only have my husband around for help. Provide your estimated budget: I am hoping the whole thing is covered by insurance. Include your insurance provider's name and plan details: My insurance does cover Doula, but I may need a prescription or justification from my OB. Currently, I am on my spouse's family plan in BCBS Anthem PPO.

I plan to give birth at Women and infants. I think they are planning on inducing me because I am considered higher risk. Our budget is between 800-1000, but can go up to 1200 if it's the right person. My birth plan is to not die basically. I don't know. I know I want an epidural. I don't know what my options are. My husband and I have a history of medical trauma, and so there is some anxiety on his part going in.
