When should I hire a doula?

When is the best time to hire a doula? Honestly, as soon as possible! As doula support in the Columbus area has become more mainstream, many doulas are inundated with support requests. I routinely meet with clients early in their first trimesters. We book up fast!

On the fence? Hiring a doula early in your pregnancy ensures you have:

Options! Your birth space is sacred, and the people you allow in are special. Interviewing early allows for greater choice, and ensures that you can find a doula who is a great fit for you.

Support! Not ready to share your pregnancy with the world, but feeling sick/sad/tired/uncertain? Been there. I’ve got your back, and I’m less likely to say the complete wrong thing than your nosy coworker.

Education! Whether you’re considering a VBAC, planning for your first birth, or just hoping your birth will go a certain way, I’ll help you to evaluate the evidence and make birthing choices that are right for you.

Access! You pay the same fee whether you hire me at 4 weeks or 38. Booking early in your pregnancy means you have immediate access to my knowledge and referral network. Plus, we have longer to get to know one another so we can build trust.

It’s never too late to try, but it’s never too early either. Contact me through the link below, and we can discuss your needs and set up a free consultation . I’d love to get to know you!
