Doulas today are labor and childbirth attendants. They care for a birthing woman, tending to her non-medical needs, such as relaxation exercises, positioning, sustenance during labor, advocacy and help in communicating with caregivers, information and planning before labor, and support after birth. And they make money doing it. Depending on the area, beginning doulas charge $200-500 per birth, and experienced doulas make even more. Amazingly, the training and set-up costs for a career as a doula are small, and the rewards go far beyond monetary compensation.
