The cost of this support will depend on your needs. Women who are at home on bed rest for such things as high blood pressure, threatened miscarriage or severe morning sickness may need a birth worker to assist them with: (a) physical support, such as showering, massage and general home care; (b) emotional support such as visualisation, discussion, feelings management; (c) informational support such as video’s books, understanding the possibilities of their condition, discussion and planning.
This kind of support is based on an hourly rate of $25 (minimum of 2 hours)
4. Supporting a Birth Only
It is far better for us to get to know each other prior to the birth, however we understand that situations can arise which call for additional / last minute support.
Cost $400
5. Extra Postnatal Support
Body Wise Birth Workers™ do not normally do house cleaning but we are extremely versatile and can organise household care, bill paying and shopping. However, the main role of the postpartum birth worker is informational and emotional support. They are able to suggest ways of overcoming breastfeeding and other postnatal problems and they are able to help the woman to de-stress. The cost of postnatal doula work is based on an hourly rate of $25 (minimum of 2 hours)
6. Birth (Miscarriage or Loss) De-briefing
Birth, (includes miscarriage or any loss) debriefing offers an opportunity for a greater understanding of what happened at your birth as well as an opportunity for your story to be heard and counselled with a woman who understands the birthing world and the impact of unmet expectations.
