FAQs for finding a doula near you
What is a doula?
A doula provides support for someone who is about to give birth, while they are giving birth, and after the birth. They can help you understand more about the medical process of giving birth and can help advocate for you during the birthing process. There is no one doula definition, a doula can act as a birth coach or a medical advocate
What does a doula actually do?
A doula can step in to hire support before, during, and after a pregnancy. Doulas can help increase your comfort during delivery by teaching you breathing techniques, massaging you, and positioning you properly. A birth doula provides support during birth, but you can even hire a night doula to help look after your newborn while you get some sleep.
What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
When comparing your options for a doula vs midwife, it’s important to understand the difference between these two caregivers. While a doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support for expecting mothers before, during, and in the immediate postpartum period, a midwife provides actual medical care during all of these stages.
Is having a doula worth it?
Every pregnancy is different and the needs and preferences of every expectant mother are different. Whether you are a first time mom or a veteran mom, you can benefit from the support a doula can offer you and your partner. It’s up to you to decide if doula services are worth the additional cost.
How much does a doula near me cost?
How much a doula costs can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the individual doula’s level of experience and the cost of living in your area. You can search Care.com to find out what doulas near you charge, but the average hourly rate for doulas on Care.com is $24.81.
