The Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond Group is intended for those trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or just someone with kids looking for community. This group is FREE for all who attend and is intended as a place of community for those experiencing a similar season of life. Each month we have one birth/postpartum professional join our conversation helping us to grow and learn more about ourselves and our community.

The group will provide a safe and welcoming space where families can share their prenatal and postpartum experiences, reflect, & connect. This is a community event for families in the northwest suburbs and surrounding Chicago area. Non-gestational partners and babies are welcome!

This group is led by Rebekkah Carney, certified DONA Birth doula and Postpartum Doula.
