Birth Doula Support at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist, Park Slope
Brooklyn Methodist — part of the NewYork-Presbyterian network — is Park Slope's primary birth facility and a first choice for families across central and south Brooklyn.
YourCherish provides certified birth doula support for families delivering at Brooklyn Methodist. We know this hospital, its staff, and what Park Slope families need from the moment labor begins.
Delivering at Brooklyn Methodist — What to Know
Brooklyn Methodist attracts a health-conscious, research-oriented Brooklyn demographic — families who have strong birth preferences and want a care team that respects them. Its labor floor is well-regarded, and the postpartum wing supports skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, and family-centered care.
Your doula reinforces those values in the room — advocating for your preferences, supporting your partner, and staying through every shift change on a busy Brooklyn floor.

Your Birth Story at Brooklyn Methodist: Doula + Photography
Your YourCherish doula is also a documentary birth photographer, so you never have to bring a stranger into your birth room. Families delivering at Brooklyn Methodist can add any of these to their doula package:
Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Brooklyn Methodist quietly documents your labor and your baby's first moments, without adding another person to the room.
Fresh48 in your postpartum room. Soft, unposed photos of your first days together, taken at Brooklyn Methodist before you go home. See Fresh48 at Brooklyn Methodist →
Maternity session in Prospect Park. At 32–36 weeks, a few blocks from the hospital in Park Slope.
Hospital photo and video rules can change, so we confirm them with your care team before your birth, and we always pause when staff ask us to. See the doula + photography packages →
Insurance and Benefits
Carrot Fertility, Maven, Cleo, HSA/FSA, and NY Medicaid accepted. Full guide →
What Brooklyn Methodist Families Say
"Olga came to our apartment in Park Slope during early labor and stayed with us until our daughter was born. Having the same person from our living room to the delivery room — that continuity changed everything." — Jenna & Marcus, Park Slope
