Our initial consultation is free and your opportunity to consult with an expert about the birth of your baby. During this time, we will discuss what you want your birth support to look like and how we at Flourish Family Doulas can help you make that a reality. We will talk about which doula may be a good fit for you and set up a visit with the doula, you think you would be best paired with.

At your prenatal visits we will explore what your birth wishes and philosophies are, and what the options are for comfort laboring at home and at your place of birth. You and your partner will have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and feelings as you make decisions and we discuss options to help eliminate surprises. We will also go over postpartum and how to heal and bond with baby

This is a great option for those in need of a doula, but don’t currently have one lined up.
Last minute doula services are not a replacement for full service, traditional labor support, but is a good option for last minute care.
The last minute doula service is a good option when there isn’t a full service doula available, if you had a friend or relative planning to support and they no longer can, if you are already in labor and decide you would like support or you just moved into the area and you still want birth support.
The doula available at the time your labor starts will just come to the birth and support you for the entire birth and for about 2 hours after.
There is no postpartum care with this plan, just the birth!

Do you wish you had a doula in your pocket? Well, we have that for you. This service will allow you to have doula support while you are living life and have the questions come up.
This virtual birth support is an add on to the talk and text support. If you decide or know you would like to have support during your birth virtually you can add the virtual birth support plan by upgrading for $200 and get the support by text or talking during labor and delivery.. You will need to let your virtual doula know that you have started early labor and then as things pick up and you want advice on positions or distraction, you can send your doula a text and ask questions or get on a short (30 minute) call. This is not for continuous birth support virtually. If you are wanting your doula continuously, then you would want the on all doula support option. Your doula will support you on and off during the night or day, but it could take an hour or so to get a response. If you do not let your doula know that you are in early labor, they may not be aware they need to be checking their phone during the night or weekend, so be in touch with your doula.
Talk and text is not a replacement for a medical provider, and is only to be used for non-medical, normal pregnancy, postpartum and well baby questions. If in doubt your doula will refer you to your medical provider. This plan does not include labor support, or physical interaction. Support is only virtual and non-emergent/urgent in nature.
