So you've decided to hire a postpartum doula, but now you are wondering how to find the right one for you.
You might start by asking your healthcare provider for recommendations. Many postpartum doulas have networks of local providers they work with. Your obstetrician, chiropractor or pediatrician might know of a great doula or have heard of one through their professional network.
Another option is to search online for "postpartum doulas in the Houston area", or wherever you are located and look over their websites. Doulamatch.net is a directory for parents to find a doula in their area, listing their years of experience and relevant certifications such as doula training, breastfeeding education, and CPR certification. You can also consider doula agencies, which often have teams of experienced doulas and handle the vetting process to ensure you receive quality care.
The most important factor when choosing a postpartum doula is how comfortable you feel with them and whether they can provide the comforting support you need during this exciting and often vulnerable time.
