Find Birth Doula Jobs Near San Rafael, CA

Wanted to see if you’re available and if we could interview you. We are expecting our second and looking for support outside traditional medicine.

This will be a hospital birth with an likely induction due to my age (42). I had gestational diabetes in my first pregnancy (diet and exercise managed) and expect it may return. I also anticipate using pain medication and an epidural. My priority is to have a doula who can work comfortably within a medical birth plan, provide emotional advocacy with hospital staff, and support for my husband and I, and if needed, use techniques like Spinning Babies. My first labor was a 42-hour induction with a sunny-side-up baby, and my doula’s Spinning Babies work helped her turn. Prenatal massage would be a bonus. Our estimated budget would be $1500-2500, although preferred on the lower side of this.

Hello! We live in Marin county but are planning to deliver at Kaiser San Francisco. I am looking for someone to work with before and after birth as well as who can attend the birth. I have 11 sessions covered by Kaiser insurance. I am hoping to find someone who can help advocate for me during the delivery. I do plan to get an epidural but I am interested in doing other things like pressure to mitigate pain (haven’t explored this just yet!).

Second child. Currently 35 weeks pregnant. CPMC is the hospital. Hoping for vaginal birth with epidural. In need of birth doula and postpartum doula. Budget flexible.

I plan to give birth in hospital and have 11 visits covered by Kaiser and aim to stay within this visitation limit. My birth plan is to have a natural delivery if there aren't any complications that arise.

We plan to deliver at the hospital in Oakland. We are pretty close to the due date, and are hoping to receive birth and postpartum support, with no more than 11 visits. Our birth plan is for vaginal birth, with the use of an epidural. We will defer to our medical team for advice if circumstances make that plan risky or untenable. We do not have a fixed budget as the birthing parent’s insurance covers doula services. The policy (Kaiser) does not explicitly specify price limits but states that it should be within “reasonable market rates”. The policy is also limited to certain primary services and we would like to keep within that range. For example, services NOT covered include massage, help with daily living like shopping and laundry, alternative health practices. Full list of services not covered can be found at https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/northern-california/health-wellness/maternity/doula-care?kp_shortcut_referrer=kp.org/doulacare#common-questions

Hello, I am giving birth at Kaiser Oakland - I'd ideally like to find a doula who takes Kaiser. I'm doing Centering Pregnancy through Kaiser, as well as taking the Kaiser classes for birth, newborn care and breastfeeding, so I don't feel like I'm going in completely blind, but it's my first pregnancy so there's a lot my partner and I just don't know. I'm hoping to find a balance of prenatal/birth education support, during birth support and postpartum and breastfeeding support. Thanks!
