question about doulas

shakespearenluv · November 2008

I've never done research on doulas so I am completely clueless as to all the do but here are a couple questions. Can you hire a doula to stay at your house for the first couple of weeks after a baby arrives? Is there a way to find a doula who specializes in helping with BF? I know I am thinking ahead but after all we went through with BF this time I am bound and determined to make it work next time. I truly believe that having a live-in advocate that first week would help me so much. Not that DH wasn't support it's just he didn't know how to help me. He really wanted to help but felt kind of helpless in that department because he didn't know much about BF. I could definitely take some classes next time around and prepare more but it would be great if there was someone I could hire to help me.

Yep! It's called a Postpartum Doula and it's what I hope to be soon.

Cool, thanks! Nother quick question, does insurance ever cover doulas or is this something that I'll have to pay out of pocket (which I'm more than willing to do anyway)!

Really!!! I think you would make an awesome doula, both for labor and post partum
