She had 6 births under her belt prior to me (not counting her own two birth experiences as a mother). Six births isn't a lot, but I was comfortable with her personality, demeanor, and training... And I didn't want to spend too much either.</p> <p>So for your price range, try to see if you can get someone who needs certification hours or just graduated. I asked my OB office for a referral. You could try <a href="http://www.dona.org/mothers/find_a_doula.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dona.org/mothers/find_a_doula.php</a> if you haven't already.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doulas-in-orange-county-ca#post-136031 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:44:15 +0000 chopsuey 136031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Aww bummer. You can always try calling Loma Linda School of Public Health and see if they have any doula recs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doulas-in-orange-county-ca#post-136016 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:38:03 +0000 HabesBabe 136016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, thanks! I did find a few, but they were a lot more expensive than I had budgeted for (around $1k, and I was thinking $500-$600). Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doulas-in-orange-county-ca#post-136002 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:32:52 +0000 chopsuey 136002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doulas-in-orange-county-ca#post-101964 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:44:49 +0000 HabesBabe 101964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello ladies... anyone in the OC/LA/SD area who has a doula they can recommend? </p>
