Struggled with latch and breast feeding with first baby. Interested in how night nurse may fit into my postpartum this time. Sleep training would be helpful.

I plan to give birth at Advocate Sherman in Elgin IL. I don’t have an exact budget, an I would just like someone aside from my husband who is able to speak up for me and assist me with laboring the way I want to. I also have major anxiety about postpartum because I suffered the loss of my first born at a month old.

I would like a doula who can help educate me on all my options around birth and how to best prepare for that. I'd also like them to be present when I'm giving birth, and potentially post partum care. I'm giving birth at Central Dupage Hospital. I learned today that my insurance plan covers doulas that are in-network, so ideally they would be in-network with BCBSIL. I don't know my birth plan, I would like help figuring that out.

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.

I'm 35 and am having a low-risk pregnancy, my first child. I would love a doula to help advocate for me, in addition to my partner, and help with emotional support as I navigate this new experience. 1. I plan to give birth at a hospital near Downers Grove (we still need to tour hospitals) 2. No set budget/flexible 3. Early labor at home, low dose epidural at hospital, have a healthy baby, and accept intervention as needed. I'm an epidemiologist and will inform my decisions based on best available data.

1) Central DuPage HospitaL 2) I would like to spend no more than $1,000 for a birth doula. May consider other services as well 3) VBAC, avoid c-section (very traumatic), open to all pain relief options but want epidural to be the last resort, open to medical interventions if other suggestions (walking, taking a shower, peanut ball, or different laboring positions) don't work

I am a neurodivergent person who is having their first child. My goal is to have a level headed strong supporter in the delivery room and someone to assist in follow up with handling life with a baby when I am autistic and ADHD

Di-di twins delivering at Northwestern in Chicago. Looking for post partum doula / night nurse capabilities for a provider that accepts BCBS insurance (I had medical necessity but have struggled to find provider). 38 years old and delivered previous two children without an epidural and with the support of a doula.

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.
