Cancellation Policy
12-Hour Clause (Sustainability Policy) If in-person labor support exceeds 12 hours, an additional fee of $50/hour applies thereafter. This will not affect my in-labor support—I will remain with you. The additional charge will be invoiced at your postpartum visit. This policy ensures I can continue to provide high-quality support and arrange for necessary backup or childcare if needed. I will inform you before this additional rate is applied. Cesarean Clause In the event of a planned or emergency Cesarean birth, fees remain the same. I will stay on-site to offer as much support as the medical staff allows. You can advocate for me to be present in the operating room with your partner, but hospital policies vary. If I am not permitted in the OR, I will join you immediately after the birth to provide support. Failure Clause I make every effort to provide the services outlined in this contract. However, in the rare event that I am unable to attend your birth due to my own unforeseen circumstances (e.g., illness, emergency) and my backup doula is also unavailable, I will refund your fee minus the deposit and any prenatal session fees ($100 per session). If I miss your birth due to your failure to call me or a precipitous (fast) labor, no refund will be issued, but I will be available for immediate postpartum support. Being on-call for up to a month around your due date requires significant commitment. If there are any dates I am unavailable for labor support, we will discuss them ahead of time, and I will arrange for a qualified backup doula. If a backup doula attends your birth, full fees remain the same. I will compensate my backup directly at no additional cost to you.
