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.
