I am expecting my first baby! I plan to give birth at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, although I’m also open to a birthing center if I could find one nearby. I’m currently living in Chicago but looking to move closer to my parents in Frankfort/Mokena/New Lenox area. I have no idea what a budget should be. I don’t have a birth plan yet, but I’d like as little intervention as possible, and I’d like a natural birth. I really would like someone to help guide me through my pregnancy to prepare for a safe, comfortable, and intervention-free labor. I am very interested in homeopathic and holistic medicine and health.
This is my first time inquiring about doula services

I’m a first-time mom planning a hospital birth, and I’m looking for a doula who can help guide me through the process and options, especially since I’m still figuring out what I want my birth plan to look like. I’m feeling a bit torn between wanting to stay mobile during labor and pushing in a position other than on my back, while also considering the possibility of an epidural. I’d love support understanding how those options can work together and what flexibility looks like in a hospital setting. I’m also looking for help with lactation and postpartum feeding. I want to breastfeed but am planning to combo feed, and I’d really appreciate guidance on how to do that in a way that supports my milk supply and feels manageable as a first-time mom. Overall, I’m hoping for someone who can educate me, help me feel confident in my choices, advocate for me during labor if needed, and support me both during birth and in the early postpartum period.

Hospital first time birth. $1000 budget or less. Birth plan not made yet but plan to do the least intrusive to no intervention/medication possible
I am very new at this doula thing but I am pregnant with my 4th child. I will be delivering at a hospital only because I find it a little safer for my situation. I am HIV positive which makes me a high risk pregnancy.
I plan to give birth at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. I am looking for a supportive and experienced midwife who can help guide me through a natural birth. My goal is to have as natural of a labor and delivery as possible, using breathing techniques, movement, and positioning to manage pain. Medical interventions would be my last resort, but I understand they may be necessary if there are safety concerns for me or my baby. I would like someone who is patient, encouraging, and communicates well so I feel supported and calm throughout the process. My budget is flexible depending on the services provided.
