She goes above and beyond. I think it's a crazy amount, but hey, if you've got that sort of money...
We paid $800 for our doula for DD...worth every cent. She works on a sliding scale, I think her full rate is $1400? She is a doula, midwife, mother of 5 and MCHN though, and she's BF all 5 kids. Totally invaluable IMO. This time she's doing it as a friend, we became close during DD's pregnancy and birth, no charge! I love our doula
yeah, TBH i would much prefer my IM and to be at home than spend $12k on a doula and still birth in a hospital IYKWIM.
My feeling is that she has hit the jackpot in terms of finding a niche market, where money is not an issue and where birth just costs LOADS of money. For example, my NT scan in LA at a midwifery centre cost almost $1000. just for the scan.
Lime: bahahaha, you and me babe, i have NO IDEA who any of those people mentioned were lol.
At one point I'd have been willing to pay that for a pro-vegan doula.
But I've found someone amazing who isn't charging a thing, we're as excited as each other to be doing it, she's vegan, AND she's a photographer. Amaze balls.
