Interested in having a doula at your birth?
If you are on Medicaid then our services are FREE. To clarify, Medicaid does NOT pay for doula services in Alabama. We use Medicaid eligibility as a guideline to determine who is financially in need of our services. BirthWell's doula services are entirely funded by grants and donations.
​​
If you are not on Medicaid but you do meet WIC income eligibility guidelines then let’s talk. Our goal is to help those who need a doula in Alabama to have one.
​
If you can afford to pay for your doula, we encourage you to do so. Doulas charge a flat fee of $700-$1500 in Alabama. You can find doulas available for your estimated due date by visiting www.doulamatch.net.
​
We are always happy to accept any payment amount to help us serve more families.
Other important info:
​
Our doula services are subject to doula availability at the time and our current grant funding.
​
We’re excited to support you on your journey, but we need your commitment too! Your doula and our BirthWell staff are investing time, effort, and care in you, so it’s important that you do the same. This is a community project, and it takes collective effort to keep it going. Please understand that if you begin the process and don’t follow through, it prevents another birth giver from receiving our services. Let’s work together to ensure everyone gets the support they deserve!
​
A Note About Community Doulas:
For most of our community doulas, this work is a passion rather than their full-time job. They dedicate their time and energy to supporting families because they truly care about making a difference. However, it’s important to understand that, like you, our doulas have jobs, families, and personal responsibilities outside of their doula work.
​
We kindly ask for your patience and flexibility as our doulas balance their commitments. While they are dedicated to providing you with exceptional care, some adjustments to expectations may be needed to accommodate their schedules.
