Birth Doula in
Portland, Oregon
We believe that how birth happens, matters. As your doula through pregnancy and labor, our work is to support you with presence, guidance, and evidence-based information. Wildwood Birth will help you to feel empowered to step into parenthood smoothly and assuredly with a strong community surrounding and supporting you as your birth doula in Portland, Oregon.
Portland Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula extends your community of care during this delicate time of growth. We provide physical, emotional, and informational support to help ease your transition into parenthood. We’ll work with you to find the best way we can support your family as your postpartum doula in Portland. In light of Covid-19, we limit the number of families each postpartum doula supports and we are even available to provide dedicated support to just your household.
Fully Vaccinated Portland Doula Support
While Covid-19 has hit us all hard, these changing times pose extra challenges to those expecting a child. We know how hard it is to be facing what is supposed to be an exciting and already-challenging time against this backdrop of such uncertainty. The Wildwood Birth Portland doula team is vaccinated and ready to support your childbirth experience. You don’t have to brave this alone.
What is a Doula?
Your doula is a personal childbirth expert who advocates for your preferences throughout labor. A birth doula offers unbiased information support, physical support, emotional support, and advocacy support when and where it is needed. Doulas provide professional labor support, childbirth education, and community throughout the journey of childbirth.
Does insurance cover a doula in Portland?
While most standard private insurance plans may not cover the cost of doula in Portland, many providers offer optional maternity care bundles that allow birthing people to access doula care without breaking the bank. If you have that option through your employer-provided or privately purchased healthcare benefits, it’s a great way to ensure you get the maternity, birth, and postpartum support you need.
