Why is it so hard to find a doula???
I have Kaiser and it’s covered as long as the doula can take Kaiser clients. I’m 25 weeks now and have been looking for months! I’ve reached out to dozens and have been only been able to set up online meetings/phone calls with like 6. One got booked up immediately, some never respond to initial reach out, most are just so bad with communication and I haven’t been able to just get to the point where I can start a first in person meeting with a doula. I’ve looked at different sites and checked in with nearby doula communities,hit up some people recommended to be, and nothing. I keep getting to the point where I send my info in and just don’t get any response after that. It just seems so unprofessional. Don’t they want to work? Do they like their field of work? Anyone else have this problem?
Didn’t think it would be so hard in Los Angeles county. I just want to be able to start asking a doula questions and get help with my birth plan :(
