Find Birth Doula Jobs in Iowa

Preferably an unmedicated birth at methodist west hospital in west des moines. My midwives are through unity point. I want a chill and meditative environment during birth. I want to be able to move and would like to avoid birthing on my back if possible. I would also prefer someone who can directly communicate my needs or advocate for what I have on my birth plan if they are not being respected. My doula should also be able to educate and help both me and my husband during our preparation for and during delivery. Top end of our budget is $1500. Postpartum care would be great but not required.

Hi! My name is Amber, and I’m due September 5 with my first baby. I’m currently looking for birth doula support and would love to learn more availability and approaches. I’ll be living in Pella and receiving care with the UnityPoint Midwives, and I’m planning to deliver at Iowa Methodist in downtown Des Moines. I’m hoping for an unmedicated hospital birth and am looking for a doula who feels aligned with supporting physiologic labor in a hospital setting. I’m especially interested in hands-on labor support, movement/positioning, coping techniques, and guidance throughout labor as a first-time mom. I would like to have someone help me advocate for my birth plan in the hospital while rolling with the punches of whatever happens, while trying our best to be in-line with our plan but overall, having a healthy baby at the end of the day.

Seeking a birth doula to support the birth of our 3rd child. I plan to deliver at the university of Iowa main hospital. My first birth was an unplanned c-section in Madison, WI in 2020 and second was a vbac at U of IA with the midwives in 2023. I am seeing the u of IA midwives for this pregnancy as well we have had doula care for our past two births as well. We don’t need a lot of childbirth education at this point but are looking for a confident and experienced doula to help provide support and advocacy during labor.
