Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I charge as a birth doula?
Birth doula fees typically range from $800–$3,500 per birth, depending on your market, experience, and package inclusions. Major cities command higher rates. Most doulas include 1–2 prenatal visits, continuous birth support, and 1–2 postpartum visits in their package.
How much do postpartum doulas charge per hour?
Postpartum doulas typically charge $25–$65/hour depending on location. Overnight rates are often 10–20% higher. Many postpartum doulas offer package discounts for 20+ hour commitments.
Should doulas offer payment plans?
Yes. Offering payment plans makes your services accessible to more families and can increase bookings by 30–50%. Most doulas split the cost into 2–3 payments spread across pregnancy.
How many births should a doula attend monthly to be profitable?
Most full-time birth doulas need 2–4 births per month to earn $50,000–$100,000/year. Supplementing with postpartum support, classes, and consulting can increase income without adding more births.
