Postpartum Support is Priceless
Having a postpartum doula can make a world of difference, providing you with the support and guidance you need during those early days. You will be able to spend more time bonding with your baby and less time worrying about what’s for dinner, getting the laundry done, or making sure the baby has a good latch. But the cost can be a barrier for many. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be.
Let’s dive into five ways to make hiring a postpartum doula more affordable!
1. Add Postpartum Doula Services to Your Registry
When friends and family ask what you need for the baby, consider adding postpartum doula services to your registry. Instead of another onesie or baby blanket, you’ll receive the support and care you need during a critical time. I partner with BeHerVillage so that you can add my services directly to your registry!
Many other registries allow you to add support services or monetary funds for what you choose. Check out my blog post all about Choosing Your Baby Registry.
2. Take Advantage of Payment Plans
Many doulas offer payment plans to make their services more accessible. This can be a game-changer, allowing you to spread out the cost over several months. Be sure to ask about this option when interviewing potential doulas. I am very flexible with my clients allowing them to split their payments how they choose or pay for support on a week-by-week basis.
3. Ask for Gift Certificates from My Website
On my website, I offer gift certificates that you can request from friends and family. This is a perfect way for loved ones to contribute to your well-being and support system. It’s a meaningful gift that can provide immense relief during your postpartum journey. You can ask for a gift certificate for a birthday, anniversary, mother’s day, or another special day!
4. Budget for It During Pregnancy or TTC
Start planning early. Budgeting for doula services during your pregnancy or even while trying to conceive (TTC) can make the cost more manageable. Set aside a little each month, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly it adds up.
5. Apply for a Scholarship on My Website
I understand that finances can be tight, which is why I offer scholarships on my website. Don’t hesitate to apply if you need financial assistance. Everyone deserves support, regardless of their financial situation. Scholarships are need-based so that I can support as many moms as possible. Just be honest with what you need to make my support work for you and your budget!
Prioritize Support Over More Baby Stuff
Having the right support can make all the difference in your postpartum experience! Prioritize hiring a postpartum doula over accumulating more baby stuff. You’ll find that the peace of mind and assistance you receive are invaluable.
You now have five actionable solutions to make hiring a postpartum doula affordable. Whether you add services to your registry, take advantage of payment plans, ask for gift certificates, budget during pregnancy, or apply for a scholarship, there’s a method that can work for you.
Remember, your well-being is just as important as your baby’s. By prioritizing support, you’re setting yourself up for a smoother, more joyful postpartum journey.
