Find Postpartum Doula Jobs Near New Orleans, LA

I plan to give birth in the hospital I’m looking for a doula who accepts my current insurance coverage from amerihealth/brightstart maternity program. My birth plan is currently a scheduled c section and minimal intervention with my baby unless deemed necessary. To breastfeed and no bath or immunizations after birth.

I plan to give birth at Tulane Lakeside hospital. My budget for doula services could be at least $1500 including insurance in network for birth experience. I would like my birthing experience to be vibrational (Hertz music) and calm atmosphere in preparation for birth. My OBGYN is older and well expert for labor and delivery. I will need emotional support and gentle care while in labor and would like to be giving the option to NOT lay on my back for labor (squat position or kneel position). Breast feeding is optional but preferred for baby to latch on.

I just discovered your information through Aetna Better Health Medicaid. Are you in network or have they made a mistake? I was digging and discovered reimbursement information for Medicaid covered doula services. I am mostly interested in prenatal and birth doula. I had a doula with my 1st of 6 children, only 1 was medicated and this is my last pregnancy but I always wished Medicaid would come on board. My new partner is uneducated to unmedicated birth or doulas and was completely helpless during our last child’s birth and I would really like better support this time around.

Baptist Ochsner is where I plan on going to give birth. This will be my third pregnancy, first time seeking a doula. Trying to find support through labor. Trying to breastfeed for longer than six months. With my first two I stopped due to not producing enough and believe pumping made it worse. Might possibly want help cooking.
