Common questions

What does a doula do?

A birth doula supports you through labor with comfort measures, positions, information and help speaking up for what you want. A postpartum doula helps at home after the birth with feeding, rest, newborn care and recovery. Doulas don't do medical tasks.

Does insurance pay for a doula?

Some state Medicaid programs cover doula care, and some private plans reimburse it. Ask the doula and your plan before you book.

When should I hire a doula?

Many families interview birth doulas in the second trimester, but it's rarely too late to ask. Postpartum doulas can often start within days.
