Birth doula care FAQs

The right support during labor and delivery can make all the difference. Learn more about what a birth doula can do for you.

What is a birth doula?

A birth doula is a professional trained to support pregnant people in labor and delivery. They are an advocate for the person giving birth, and can help ensure a birth plan is followed. Birth doulas provide emotional support as well as practical suggestions, such as trying new labor positions or practicing breathing exercises to manage pain through contractions. Working with a birth doula has proven benefits for new mothers, including reduced C-section rates, shortened labor times, and better infant Apgar scores.

In the United States, birth doulas are generally not considered medical care providers, since they do not need a license to provide care. Birth doulas who practice under the title Certified Doula (CD) have gone through a rigorous certification training process, which includes in-person training, a written exam, and references from clients and supervisors.

Birth doulas are sometimes also full-spectrum doulas, which means they provide care to families postpartum in addition to prenatally.

What does a birth doula do?

A birth doula helps to plan for labor and delivery and will be by your side during birth. A birth doula is an important part of the labor and delivery care team, alongside an obstetrician and midwife.

A birth doula will help you understand your options and give advice when it comes to labor planning and preparation. Topics covered during pregnancy might include:

  • Deciding where to give birth, whether that is at home, in a birthing center, or at a hospital
  • Understanding different pain management options such as epidurals, hypnobirthing, and natural birth alternatives
  • Learning about birthing positions and the stages of labor

During labor, a birth doula is a support person, at your bedside to help ensure your labor plan is followed to the extent possible, and that you and your partner have your voices heard. Overall, think of a birth doula as an advocate for the birthing person, and a bridge to the medical team.

How much does a birth doula cost?

Birth doula care generally starts at $1,600 for labor and delivery support. This rate typically includes a prenatal birth planning consultation, a postpartum recovery check-in session, and a set number of hours of support during labor and delivery.

Birth doula care is generally not covered by commercial insurance. However, some employers offer reproductive care benefits for employees, which can help cover some of the cost. Birth doula care is also typically HSA/FSA eligible.
