This is my first baby. I will be giving birth in Highland Park, IL. I am using Triwest to cover my costs. I would like a doula who can be there for me during my birth, planning for birth, and postpartum.

I’ve been breastfeeding exclusively. Baby’s gaining weight consistently but I still feel like he’s not getting enough milk. He constantly wants to eat, I can’t tell the difference between him using me as a pacifier vs eating. Also interested in switch to pumping once or twice a day. Immediately after breastfeeding my breasts feel lighter but within a couple minutes they hurt.. like a sore pain throughout not just nipples

My husband and I are looking for someone to support us immediately following the birth of our first daughter. We are both unsure of infant care and could use someone to help us navigate the beginning stages of taking care of a newborn, while making sure we are also taking care of ourselves. We ideally would need over night and day time support, more so in the beginning, that may taper off over time. We also have 2 cats, and would be looking for someone who is comfortable around animals.

Im trying to help my wife find a doula to help us through our first pregnancy. As of now we are unsure if she is wanting to go unmedicated for the delivery so we would need someone able to walk us through those decisions. She prefers that I (the husband) be the one to read all the books and stuff so I would need someone that is willing to work with me on these things so I can support her as best I can. We are thinking of an in hospital birth, due around May 4th. My insurance does cover a doula/ midwife so it might help if you can take insurance but I would be willing to pay out of pocket for the right person. We would also prefer an in person doula/midwife to help us in the delivery room.

I plan on having a natural birth at Endeavor Health Elmhurst. As this is mine and my partner's first child, I'm looking for someone who has experience with all things baby. I would like to be as prepared as possible. I would prefer to have my insurance cover expenses if possible but am open to discuss a reasonable budget. Thank you in advance.

My first baby struggled with weight gain so I gave up breastfeeding at 4 months out of frustration even though my supply was strong. Want to avoid/get ahead of this problem with my second pregnancy.
