Doula Guide

How to Automate Calendar & Scheduling as a Doula

When Alicia goes into labor at 2am while Maria needs her Day 3 visit moved, your phone turns into a source of stress. Trying to juggle overlapping due dates, prenatal visits, and postpartum check-ins by hand leads to missed follow-ups and weeks where you never really clock out.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Balancing three clients' due dates in a paper planner while texting partners to set up visit times during active labor.

45 minutes per client cluster
  1. Check paper calendar for open slots between other clients' due dates
  2. Text partner to confirm availability for postpartum home visits
  3. Manually calculate 24-hour, Day 3, and Week 1 intervals from birth time
  4. Write new appointments into planner while waiting for text replies
  5. Set multiple phone alarms for on-call start dates and follow-ups

Alicia just delivered! 7lbs 2oz at 4:12am. Can you schedule her postpartum visits?
9:41 AM
Congratulations! I've blocked your calendar for Alicia's 24hr call tomorrow at 4pm, Day 3 visit Friday at 10am, and Week 1 check-in next Tuesday at 2pm. Want me to text her partner the itinerary?
9:41 AM
Yes please. Also, Jen is having prodromal contractions, move her 36-week prenatal to Thursday if she can make it.
9:42 AM
I see a gap Thursday at 1pm. I've emailed Jen the new time and put a hold on your calendar pending her reply. I also added a reminder to charge your phone tonight since Jen is 37 weeks.
9:42 AM
Perfect. And remind me to print Maria's superbill before Friday.
9:43 AM
Added to your Friday 9am checklist. I'll ping you when the PDF is ready in your Docs folder.
