Find Postpartum Doula Jobs Near Bowling Green, KY

We are planning a hospital birth as natural as possible. Also looking for a doula that doubles as a lactation consultant.

I am doing some research to feel more comfortable with the idea of becoming pregnant. I am on the spectrum and have reservations with the idea of pregnancy due to increased need for communication during stressful times, fear or pain/childbirth, and lack of knowing what to do for a child. I have researched that having a doula can highly help with this since it can be someone who is a trusted person in your corner. I don't have a budget for this service yet since I am still feeling it out-but hope to also be able to have assistance with insurance ( I am a teacher).

My partner is pregnant with a little girl due June 19 - we are planning to go to Owensboro for the birth, we live in Muhlenberg County (Beechmont). This is our first child, we don't have much of a birth plan. We both have very supportive and experienced family members/support system so I've leaned on them a lot for information. My partner is 27 years old, 28 by due date.

We are first time parents with a 10 day old newborn and are looking for postpartum support, primarily to help us get rest and adjust to a consistent routine. We would like someone experienced with newborn care, including feeding support (breastfeeding/pumping or bottle), soothing techniques, and helping us understand our baby’s needs. Our main goal is to have support during a shift so that one or both of us can get uninterrupted sleep. We are especially interested in overnight or early morning support if available, but are open to daytime help as well. Light support such as holding the baby, assisting with burping and settling, and basic newborn guidance would be helpful. We would also appreciate someone who is communicative, reliable, and consistent, as that is very important to us during this stage. Our baby does not have any special needs. We are open to discussing a schedule that works for both sides, ideally a few hours per shift. Our budget is flexible but we are ideally looking for something in the range of $20–$30 per hour depending on experience and availability.
