Every doula offer their own unique aspects to support, however the majority include the following:
7+
8+
- One complimentary consultation (over the phone, in person or via video chat)
9+
- One to two (or more) prenatal visits
10+
- Unlimited email, text and phone support
11+
- Access to carefully curated list of community resources
12+
- 24/7 On-call support from 38 weeks until your baby is born
13+
- Continuous support throughout labor, delivery and immediate postpartum support in the birthing location of your choice
14+
- Backup doula support if needed
15+
- One or more postpartum followup visits
16+
17+
This is typical of birth doula support, but may not reflect the specifics of every doula's practice within our cooperative. Be sure to ask about this at your complimentary consultation to discover what their particular offerings include.

Not if we're doing it right!

Doulas seek to facilitate a positive experience for all people involved in both the birth and postpartum experience. Our wisdom of caring for a birthing or postpartum person is only one component to the equation. Your other chosen support people know you much more intimately than we ever can, so they bring a critical knowledge to the equation as well. When the two team members work together to create a circle of support around a birthing or postpartum person, that is when the real magic happens.
10+
11+
Even the most supportive and knowledgeable of partners or family members will need breaks for rest, nourishment, and emotionally processing such momentous events. A doula can provide care for all involved in large and small ways so that they can be fully present and participate at the level they are most comfortable.

title: "How much does doula support cost and why?"
3+
draft: false
4+
summary: "Get an overview of doula fees in the area and understand the factors that contribute to the cost, ensuring you can make an informed decision."
5+

6+
7+
The average fee for birth doula services in Rochester is around $1,000. The average fee for postpartum doula support is around $30-35/hour.
8+
9+
When a doula sets their fee, they take into account the following:
10+
11+
- Unlimited text, email and phone support throughout time of contract
12+
- Prenatal and postpartum visits
13+
- On call access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from 38 weeks until baby is 1-2 weeks old
14+
- Length of the birth - while some may only be a few hours, they can stretch to a few days
15+
- Childcare costs, travel fees, administrative and business costs, etc.
16+
- Amount of time and money invested in professional development to enhance skills
17+
18+
There is a misconception that newer doulas can offer their services for free. However, to create a sustainable work environment and situation for themselves, each doula often decides to establish at least a minimal fee in order to cover the basic costs of doing this work.
19+
20+
If you are concerned about paying the fee for doula support services, please consider the following:
21+
22+
- What items could you sell, or could you host a garage sale, to cover the cost?
23+
- Could you put doula support on your shower registry?
24+
- Do you or your family members have any services that could be exchanged for a portion of the fee?

Birth doulas work collaboratively with nurses, midwives and physicians to provide holistic support for their clients throughout the birth process. Often, a doula can help facilitate conversation between a birthing person and their provider to ensure their questions are being answered, their concerns are being heard and their preferences are being honored.
8+
9+
Birth doulas offer a unique role on the birth team in that their only responsibility is to the birthing person and their family. Often in pregnancy, doulas and their clients develop a level of trust and familiarity that is a welcomed addition to the birth room in which providers can be unknown.
10+
11+
Because doulas do not perform any clinical tasks, conduct exams or make diagnoses, they are able to focus their attention solely on how the birthing person is feeling and coping with the experience at any given moment.

Yes! There's a big difference between doulas and midwives, but we typically get along really well!
8+
9+
Midwives are trained medical providers who support women from puberty all the way through menopause. They generally uphold the midwifery model of care which is highly person-centered, holistically supportive and promotes the normal, physiologic process of birth. As with doulas, midwives care for patients who make any number of choices in their birth experiences. Midwives work collaboratively with a physician in cases where instrumental or cesarean birth is required.
10+
11+
Doulas and midwives often have similar approaches to birth and so we compliment one another very well. Though they are both focused on the overall well-being of the birthing person and their baby, they have two very distinct roles in that the midwife will always be the one to perform clinical tasks or exams, make diagnoses and catch the baby and the doula is there to support the birthing person and their family to enhance their overall mental and emotional well-being and physical comfort.
