Hello, My name is Adèle and I’m currently expecting my first child, due August 23. My partner, Lucas, and I live in the Mission in San Francisco and are currently looking for a doula to support us during birth and postpartum period. We are planning a hospital birth through Kaiser at the Redwood City Birth Center, and ideally are looking someone in-network with Kaiser and able to accept Carrot benefits. A little about us: we’re a French/German-American couple in our 30s, and this is our first baby. I tend to be thoughtful and preparation-oriented, and I’m looking for someone calm, grounded, emotionally attuned, and experienced supporting first-time parents. My hope is for a supportive and relatively low-intervention birth experience if medically appropriate, while staying flexible and pragmatic (not too attached to anything). I would love someone who can help us feel informed, supported, and steady throughout labor and the early postpartum transition. If it sounds like we may be a good fit, we'd love to connect and hear more about your approach, availability around my due date, pricing/packages, and experience with Kaiser and Carrot benefits. Warmly, Adèle

Hello Allison, I hope this finds you well. This is my first pregnancy. I am in need of a doula to guide myself and my husband, Shaheen, through the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period (including breastfeeding). We are hoping you can provide us with specific, actionable ways for Shaheen to support me during pregnancy, especially during labor, and during the postpartum period. I hope to labor at home as long as possible, avoid the epidural if possible, and I really would like to avoid a C-section. I am eager to learn about natural birthing techniques and positions that work with my body and gravity. Finally, my husband and I are Catholic, so we would appreciate a doula who is comfortable with prayer. Thank you for your time. Cheers, Elise 925-352-1942

I plan to give birth at a hospital. As a backup, I would like to have a home birth. A home birth was my first option but baby had an arrhythmia which is the reason I chose hospital first at this point. I do have medical insurance to cover my hospital birth. I don’t have a preference on medication or epidural as this is my first pregnancy and I don’t want to commit one way or another

I’m looking for someone to help me through my birth experience as I’m trying to have a natural delivery. With my last pregnancy i ended up in a C-section. I would like emotional support for myself and new baby. This will be more of a new experience for me. I plan on delivering at Modesto Hospital if all goes well. I’m hoping that my insurance covers the doula. My birth plan so far is Waiting for water to break before going to the hospital. Minimal noise if possible Epidural at about 4 to 5 cm dilated Delay core clamping for baby - 5 min minimum Skin to skin as soon as possible

Hospital birth Fully covered by tricare prime Would like all natural birth not interventions or medication At least 10 years experience

We are having twins in August and looking for post partum support overnight 4 nights a week.

We plan to give birth at a hospital (Kaiser in Redwood City). I'm looking for options that will be 100% covered by our Kaiser health insurance. My birth plan is flexible. Ideally I would prefer an unmedicated VBAC birth, but is flexible if induction or C-section is required. Would be helpful to have a doula that is also well-versed in sleep training. My first required 100% contact naps until they were sleep trained at 5 months old. I have Kaiser HMO

Hi there, My name is Anna, and my husband and I are expecting our first baby, a girl, with a due date of July 24, 2026. We're planning to deliver at Scripps Encinitas. As first-time parents, we're looking for a doula to support us both through labor and delivery and then at home during the postpartum period, and I'd love to find out if we could be a good fit. A few things about what we're hoping for. During labor at the hospital, I'd like to try for an unmedicated birth and want support in working toward that. Afterward, we're looking for in-home postpartum assistance once we're settled back home. This is all new to us, so I'm also hoping to learn more about how doula support typically works and what your services include. On the insurance side, I'm covered through Cigna (Open Access Plus plan), and I understand you're in-network with them. I'd really like to make sure the services we receive are covered under my plan before we move forward. My benefits administrator has told me that coverage is subject to a prior authorization, which will determine the length of care and medical necessity, so the support we're approved for will be based on the care plan in that authorization. I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer on how billing and that authorization process work on your end. If you're available and a good fit, I'd love to set up a short consultation call to talk through everything. It would also help to know what your birth and postpartum services include and your pricing, so we can plan accordingly. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I am looking for an overnight doula for 3 nights in the hospital to support taking care of my new born baby at night for 8 hrs. I will be undergoing a c-section and we don't have overnight nursery facility in our hospital. I am willing to pay $35-50/hr but open to negotiation.

Hello! Looking for last-minute support for birth at the end of the month. I had been in contact with an agency, but they have stopped replying, so I am desperate to find someone to be a part of my birth journey. Looking for someone to help me understand the decision-making during birth, as well as some physical support

I plan to give birth at Hoag hospital Newport. I am trying to figure out what options are covered for insurance, I’m not interested in out of pocket services at this time. I have Anthem PPO Platinum, JQU986W02777. I am 35 and my birth plan is just to stay calm and roll with the punches.

Trying to go for a vbac. 2nd pregnancy with gestational diabetes. Prior c. Section due to long and tiring induction

Hello, My name is Anna Kerlo. I am reaching out to you to ask if you might have availability to support my husband and I through the birth of our baby. I am due August 12, it’s a girl, and she will be our first child after 7 years of IVF treatments. We have Kaiser, and are planning to give birth at Kaiser Santa Clara. I am hoping for a birth as unmedicated as possible, but also understand things don’t always go as planned. Would be available? Thanks a lot in advance for your help, Anna Kerlo

I plan on delivering at the naval hospital in San Diego Tri care insurance

Excited for this journey! I am giving birth at Kaiser Redwood City. Ideally I am looking for those who have worked with Kaiser insurance as I have doula coverage (I was referred to Kristin Guess). Birthplan is quite standard: prioritize non medical interventions, epidural, no IV pain meds, skin to skin, delayed cord clamping, preemptive nausea control, dim lights, breast feeding, delayed bath. Likely circumcision care. Requirements of provider: Certified, evidence based guidance (though not in OBGYN, my husband and I work in healthcare). I plan to hire a post partum nanny for the first 2 months following birth, however, would love additional support as an additional perspective. Also month 3 would be great for additional support (sleep training, lactation consulting, etc). Budget is flexible but would like to prioritize Kaiser Doula coverage first.
