How Much Does a Doula Charge?
Generally it depends on the services offered/desired. An average of 500.00 to 800.00 is not unusual depending on where you live & what services are offered. Most Doulas require a retainer (usually 100.00-250.00) at the time of hiring.
This covers the prenatal visits and being on-call, the phonecalls etc. The remainder may be asked two weeks prior to your due date or after the birth at a postnatal visit. Most Doulas have their own payment schedules and are willing to work with families on that, if done in advance or upon signing the contracts.
