What does a doula do?
Recognizes birth and the postpartum as key experiences that the birthing family will remember all their lives
Understands the physiology of birth and the postpartum experience and the emotional needs of a family crossing the threshold.
Assists their clients in preparing for and carrying out their plans for birth and setting up realistic postpartum goals
Maintains connection with their clients throughout their perinatal experience
Provides emotional and tactical support, physical comfort measures, and an objective viewpoint
Helps their clients get the information they need to make informed decisions
Facilitates communication between their clients and their clinical care as needed
But how much does a doula cost?
Birth doulas in Texas generally charge anywhere between $600-$3000 for their services. This rate is typically based on location, amount of experience, certification, and what kind of care they provide in their “package.”
Feeling too overstretched financially to save up for a doula? Totally understandable. Add a fund to your registry! Or have a “For Our Doula” cash/check jar at your shower and blessings! People love contributing to unique funds like this, and we can take fun pics during your prenatals or after your birth for your thank you cards. :)
