We began the night with an in-depth discussion about back up doulas. While all doulas agreed it was rare to miss a client's birth, there are times it happens- because of an emergency, illness, or another client's labor. In this case, back up arrangements are in place. Experienced doulas shared what has worked for them.
We also shared (anonymously) our price range and experience level. This can guide doulas in what to charge in the Austin area.
1-10 births
$0-300
10-20 births
$100-600
20-30
$400-700
30-50 births
$700-800
80+
$700-900
After our Doula Circle, we enjoyed visiting in the warmth of a fire (yes, it was actually that cold). We drank hot cocoa, coffee and wine. All the doulas brought delicious food! We exchanged white elephant gifts- things a doula can use for herself, or with clients. There were wonderful things like chocolate, coffee gift certificates, massage lotion, a watch, and more.
It was a wonderful night and I think we all look forward to the next one!
