Find Birth Doula Jobs Near Sarasota, FL

I plan to birth at Sarasota memorial hospital in Sarasota Florida. I would like something that’s around $1000 or less. I really want to have an unmedicated vaginal hospital birth.

I’m a late transfer (meeting my OB tomorrow at almost 31 weeks), and the only practice that would take me is the SMH First Physicians Group Pregnancy Center, which delivers at Sarasota Memorial Hospital (yay!) but can’t guarantee who my actual delivery doctor/nurse will be… or even if it’ll be consistent through my remaining prenatal appts. I want someone to be a constant through the end of my pregnancy and delivery, to know my plan, manage the vibes, and advocate for me. I want an unmedicated vaginal birth. I understand that things sometimes derail that plan, but I don’t want intervention to be assumed. I’m willing to pivot for my safety and the baby’s, but I know how doctors and hospitals often jump straight to medical interventions as CYA from liability, and I want someone on my team with the knowledge and empathy to guide the situation on behalf. I have a Cigna Open Access Plus plan (based in NYC, but national coverage).

I’m currently expecting and exploring support options for both birth doula services and postpartum night doula care. I would love to learn more about whether we might be a good fit. A bit about what I’m looking for: Hospital birth with a strong preference for a natural, low-intervention labor Support with mobility, non-medical pain management, and advocacy Calm, grounding presence and clear communication Postpartum/night support focused on feeding support (breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeds), newborn care, and allowing parents to rest I’m especially interested in: Your experience supporting hospital births How you approach pain management and advocacy during labor Your availability around my due date Whether you offer combined birth + night doula packages, and what that typically looks like Your approach to nighttime feeding support (breastfeeding vs pumped milk) Thank you so much—I really appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

I need everything I can get, this is my first pregnancy, I am waiting on insurance to kick in, the ob I chose wants $450 for the first appointment. We are clueless and need some guidance

I plan to give birth at sarasota memorial hospital. This will be my second born child. Our first was born at a birth center and I loved the experience, but our insurance changed which is why we are giving birth at a hospital this time. I would love to have another unmedicated vaginal birth with minimal medical interventions. Estimated budget is around $1,500-2,000.

Open to water birth and understand my options but also open to epidural. I had postpartum with my oldest son just want to ensure the support is there.

Hospital birth with as little intervention as possible No idea what the budget would be Do not have birth plan written out yet

Hi I am looking for a doula and a midwife that will listen to my needs and what I need and the baby needs.

I am trying to find a doula that will create a calm environment for an at home birth

I want to give birth at home, and have a vaginal birth. Mainly because of how hospitals push their protocols/ that can cause further interventions. Even if I have to go to the hospital due to any complications I just want someone there to help advocate for me and our baby girl. We have a budget of $2,500 for birthing, postpartum, and lactation consultation we are open to price difference within reason. This is my first pregnancy, I don't really have a birth plan, but I am doing my research to educate and plan. I would like someone who has 5 to 10 years of experience. I have a Obgyn and my last ultrasound was on June, 16th baby is 3lbs 7 Oz. and doing very well.

I will be having a home birth unless absolutely necessary that I go to a hospital. Don’t necessarily have a budget but that is because our funds are tight but we are going to do what we need to in order to have a home birth. I would love to find someone who offers payment plans if possible :) I am located in North Port. I plan to have an all natural birth with my husband, and mom present. I am not 100% sure that i will want to have a water birth but i would like to have it as an option!

New to this so not quite sure! * this is my first baby so just need help in general - want to learn more about preparing such as pelvic floor exercise, things to help birth go smoother like breathing exercise. * someone to advocate for a more natural approach- hoping to deliver naturally and no c section. * would love to give birth in a birthing center that connected to a hospital or a hospital. Luckily my OB office has 3 midwives so I’ve requested to have the baby delivered by a midwife. * need help developing my birth plan - I know I don’t want the baby to get vaccines, the eye ointment, I want chord clamping, delay bathing the baby

I am looking to help my baby connect sleep cycles, get more restful sleep for him, and hopefully if you offer in home services. I feel completely at odds with everything I see online. Everything is contradictory, and I can’t stand to hear him cry.

Where do you plan to give birth (home/hospital)? Hospital — preferably St. Anthony’s Hospital in St. Petersburg for a safe environment with support for low-intervention and natural birth. 2. Provide your estimated budget I plan to use insurance coverage (Ambetter and/or Medicaid) to cover prenatal care and delivery. I am seeking in-network providers to minimize out-of-pocket costs and keep expenses as low as possible. 3. Describe your birth plan I am planning a natural, low-intervention birth if medically appropriate. My goals include: • Unmedicated labor if possible (might change ) • Minimal interventions (avoiding induction, continuous monitoring, or cesarean unless medically necessary) • Freedom to move and use position changes during labor • Immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth • Support for delayed cord clamping and breastfeeding

1. Hospital 2. $1500-2000 3. I plan to do a medicated birth

Hospital, simply healthcare, hoping for natural birth

My last birth was a freebirth at home, i would prefer to have a medical team of some sort on hand for a homebirth this time. I am currently uncertain on a budget. I would like to plan a homebirth if pregnancy remains low risk. Labor in a quiet, calm environment. Dim lighting. Minimal unnecessary interruptions. Freedom to move, walk, squat, kneel, or change positions as desired. Access to water for comfort measures and possible waterbirth if appropriate. I would prefer non medication comfort measures first. Water immersion, position changes, breathing techniques, massage and counter pressure, and encouragement from support people/team. I would like to avoid unnecessary interventions when i and the baby are doing well. Informed consent before any non-emergency procedures. I would also like to have clear explanations of risks, benefits, and alternatives before decisions are made whenever possible. For delivery i want to be able to push according to my bodys urges rather than directed pushing if safe unless i ask otherwise . Freedom to choose birthing position. I want the baby on my chest immediately if both of us are stable. The golden hour is very important to me. I want delayed cord clamping. I want my partners involved in the delivery and cutting the cord. I would also like to deliver our placenta naturally if safe. I would like to initiate breastfeeding as soon as possible. Routine newborn procedures delayed until after bonding when medically appropriate. Keep mother and baby together whenever possible. Transfer to hospital if medically necessary. Preference for clear communication throughout any transfer. I would prefer a provider who is open minded to odd family dynamics and who has been practicing for at least 5-6 years. I am 28 years old, this is my fifth pregnancy and hopefully fourth birth.
