Are you seeking the best pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience while avoiding unnecessary interventions? Birthify bridges the information gap between your provider, the internet, and friends, helping you sort through conflicting advice. Having an expert on your team with evidence-based information and experience can make all the difference in your journey.
Birthify is not the right solution for you if any of these things are true:
You are a minor
You are in an urgent crisis or an emergency situation
You are seeking medical advice or a second opinion
Birthify is a virtual coaching platform providing personalized guidance and support to expectant and new parents, helping them confidently navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting. Our expert doulas and maternal support practitioners tailor their support to each family's unique needs, ensuring a smoother and more informed journey into parenthood.
Birthify's doulas are full-spectrum trained and experienced in pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, and infant care. They have completed training programs and the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. While their experience, expertise, and background vary, they all have at least three years of experience working one-on-one with clients.
Our team ensures that every professional we bring to the platform is fully educated and in good standing. Professionals who apply are required to provide proper documentation and proof of identity. We then cross-check their information with their respective education programs.
The cost of coaching through Birthify ranges from $60 per week (billed every 4 weeks). You can cancel your membership at any time for any reason.
This process can take a few hours or a few days, depending on the coach’s availability. Don't worry, your subscription period starts when you are matched with a coach.
All communication happens right on the platform through messaging and weekly live video chats. You can use different ways at different times as you wish, based on your needs, availability, and convenience.
You can have up to four 30-minute video chats per week with your coach and 24/7 unlimited messaging through the platform. **coaches are expected to respond to to all messages within 12 hours or less.
Some coaches make themselves available during the labor process. This is not included in the initial subscription. You will have an opportunity to add this to your services for a flat rate of $300, as long as your coach can accommodate you and it’s discussed and paid for before labor begins.
You can choose the mode of communication that fits your needs. You can choose to chat exclusively through video each week, communicate exclusively through messaging, or a combination of both.
Once you are matched with your coach, you will be prompted to schedule your first discovery call via video chat. After each video session, you will receive an email with a link to schedule your next video chat session. You can also use this same link and schedule multiple appointments in advance.
You can join at any point during pregnancy or in the first few weeks postpartum. Birthify's support is ideal for those entering their third trimester through the first eight to twelve weeks after birth. Over the coming months, we aim to expand services to include fertility and extended infant/childcare.
Your membership payments will be charged to a credit or debit card on a recurring basis. You can simply cancel your subscription anytime.
Neither Birthify nor coaches on the Birthify Platform submit claims to Medicare, Medicaid, or health insurers. Coverage and benefits for birth and postpartum doula services change from one health insurance company to another and from plan to plan, but generally, the following rules apply:
With many health insurance plans, coverage can be partial or very limited.
Even if your plan covers all your costs, the co-pay that you would be required to contribute may be higher than the entire cost of Birthify.
If you consider using your health insurance, please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have doula insurance benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
What is the coverage amount?
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Please note that Birthify offers very affordable pricing options which are typically comparable with the co-pays of most insurance plans.
The service is provided by independent coaches who work directly with you. These providers are not employees of Birthify and the site doesn't oversee them professionally. Our mission is to build, maintain, and support a platform that lets families and coaches communicate successfully, and to enable this network so they can get the most current, evidence-based information and support.
