Question domain name

My business name is Bella Maternity Services, which I chose because I offer more than birth doula services (postpartum, childbirth education, eventually Mother Blessings, prenatal and postpartum yoga... and MIDWIFERY--I wanna do it all but we'll see!!)
Is this too long? bellamaternityservices.com ???
It seems long to me
I wish I could just have this business yuckiness done with already and get together with clients!
Thanks in advance!!!!

What about simply Bellamaternity.com or bella.com if it is available?

I am liking the bellamaternity.com advice.... but that being said... mine is wiregrassdoulaservices.com, so I think it is fine, hah!

I think whatever you settle on will be fine. I personally think that if people know your business name they will tend to type the whole thing in and start looking for you that way. I know that is what I do all the time. I will type in the whole business name and start with .net and then go onto .com, etc.

I just registered a new domain name for myself with a name that covers all that I do - hardyalternativehealthservices.net (It is long, but I like it and will keep it since that is the name of my overall business with the two other businesses going under it).

Thanks to all who gave their input!!!
bella.com and bellamaternity.com are both taken already, so those are out for me. I considered switching my name to Bella Luna Maternity Services because it would make logo stuff so simple to use a moon (and I like it and its connotations). Thanks, thanks, and thanks again! ((I just moved and you all are my ONLY community now, which is why I am so grateful to you!!!!!)
