- Tips for Finding a Doula1. Start looking early in your pregnancyChoosing a doula early in your pregnancy will give you time to get to know each other and get comfortable with your birth plan.2. Talk to other familiesTalking with friends who have used a doula about their experience can help you start and even narrow your search. Technology – Facebook groups, a Google search for other online groups and forums – can connect you with other moms in your area.3. Talk with the provider who’s caring for you during your pregnancyLet your doctor or midwife know you’re planning on having a doula as part of your labor and delivery team. And if your provider has worked with a doula in the past, they may be able to offer a recommendation.4. Check with doula certification programsMost programs offer national, and even global, online directories of certified doulas that you can search by location.5. Interview potential doulasYou not only want to gather important information about them and their background, but you also need to get a feel for whether your personalities are a good fit.6. Know your Healthcare CoverageReach out to your insurance provider to see if they cover the cost of having a doula by your side during childbirth. Also, don’t forget about your HSA/FSA accounts– they may chip in to help cover those expenses, giving you some extra peace of mind during this special time.7. Trust your gutWhen you choose someone to provide any service, there’s no doubt experience and technical skills are must-haves. But soft skills, such as communication, empathy and teamwork, come into play too. Pay attention to how you connect with and feel when you’re with them. No one knows you and what you need better than you do. Listen to and follow your instincts.ServiceConditions/Services/Treatments PageWelcoming your support team During pregnancy, the right support makes all the difference. Every family deserves a safe, healthy, and positive birth experience. At Luminis Health, we welcome doulas as part of your care team. A doula is a trained, non-medical, professional who nurtures, supports and offers guidance for families throughout labor and delivery, and after the birth. Doulas offer a wide range of services, including help with breastfeeding as well as postpartum care. Watch the video in Spanish. Studies show a doula’s continuous labor support benefits mom and baby in many ways. It can often mean: A more satisfying birth experience Less need for pain medications Less likelihood of needing a cesarean delivery Shorter labor Increased likelihood of successful breastfeeding At Luminis Health, we support the inclusion of doulas as part of your care team throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery, and beyond. *Luminis Health uses a third party event registration service.
