The rate 800-2500, is that per week?

Also know some of us are not as expensive because we cater to the communities that can't normally afford that care. Just saying

[@TheMaternityMentor]

I really appreciate you saying this!!! I think that by presenting a pros/cons list I may have misrepresented this part. I LOVE Doulas and think they are a very positive part of a birth experience. Thank you for all you do and I really genuinely appreciate you posting this! Have a great day! ***FOR MY VIEWERS READING THIS - She is correct. Not every Doula is expensive. You should always research doulas in your area because they are amazing!

Doula as part of labor support team: Q’s to ask: -What training have they received? What organization are they certified through? -Have you worked with my OBGYN/hospital before? -Ask when they are available and about any vacations upcoming -If there are any accommodations you don’t need, ask if price can be adjusted Cons: -Limited clientele -Price; Great doulas may charge more -May interfere with partner’s ability to be involved. Ensure open communication -May have trouble adjusting to new plan of care When to hire a doula: -During second trimester
