Choosing a Doula

The Doulas of the Lane County Birth Network make it easy to choose a doula who is right for you and your family. When you call our information hotline, we will happily answer any questions you have about doula care and send you a directory of currently practicing doulas.

All LCBN doulas offer a free initial interview to get acquainted and discuss your needs for birth and postpartum support. We encourage you to interview several doulas so that you may choose the one you feel will be the best fit.

When interviewing a doula,
here are some sample questions to ask:

What is your training and experience?
What does you fee include?
Can you provide references?
Do you work with back-up doulas for times when you are unavailable?
May we call you with questions or concerns before and after the birth?
What is your philosophy about childbirth and supporting women and their partners through labor support?
When do you join the mother during labor?

Fees

All birth and postpartum doulas associated with the Lane County Birth Network are individual practitioners and fees vary. Please contact doulas directly about fees. Birth doulas have a package fee, and postpartum doulas charge an hourly fee.

If you are a teenager, you qualify for free doula services with Doulas Supporting Teens, a local non-profit organization.
