Covid-19 | Recommendations

Last Updated: November 1st, 2022

With the continued impact of Covid-19, supporting our Clients and affiliated Doulas to be as safe as possible remains important to us. Based upon current information and state-wide statistics we would like to offer you the following guidelines and recommendations, to be considered as they apply. As always, we are happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us directly HERE.

WHEN HIRING A BLOOM BABY DOULA, WE RECOMMEND THAT: 

  •  Complimentary consultations take place virtually, or in a mutually agreed-upon space where appropriate social distancing may be maintained, if desired.


  • Each Doula works with one client at a time unless there is transparency in regard to the precautions being taken (which may include discussion around vaccination status and/or Covid-19 testing) & there is mutual agreement between all potentially involved parties.

  • All prenatal visits with your Birth and/or Postpartum Doula take place virtually, or in a mutually agreed-upon space where appropriate social distancing may be maintained, if desired.
 

  • Clients and Doulas maintain full transparency in discussions about any potential exposure and/or developing symptoms throughout the working relationship.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

When hiring a Birth and/or Postpartum Doula, we recommend asking the following questions during your consultations.

  • What Covid-19 precautions have you taken thus far with clients and/or what precautions are you prepared to take in working with our family?

  • If we choose to work together are you willing to remain fully transparent in discussing any possible exposure and/or developing symptoms?

  • Are you considered to be in a high-risk category for contracting Covid-19? (Either due to personal health concerns &/or possible increased exposure through your additional work or school environments, etc).

  • For ongoing postpartum support are you open to utilizing at-home testing at the beginning of our contract term &/or periodically throughout?
