Doulas of Chicago offers boutique doula services for Chicago families looking to enhance their birth and 1st year parenting experiences. We can’t wait to help you turn your home into a haven.
We support people who are giving birth in Chicago’s hospitals and birth centers with OBGYNs and Certified Nurse Midwives. We support vaginal birth, planned cesarean birth, families with goals of VBACs and vaginal birth of multiples, and any number of scenarios in-between.
We value the relationship you’ve built with your medical providers, and do all we can to increase communication, satisfaction, and community with the people you have selected to participate in your birth.
One of the skills doulas bring to the birth room is the ability to protect nuance. The hospital staff get to see babies be born everyday! And that experience is part of the reason you are there. But this is YOUR baby. A unique individual who desrves to be seen and treated as carefully and mindfully as possible.
Your doula sees you, and sees the reality of the hospital setting. Being able to balance the needs of both means yours needs are never overlooked while also taking advantage of delivering in a place that can be ready at a moment’s notice if any emergency arises.
We look forward to supporting your birth and your goals of how you wish to meet your child. Depending if you are requesting care in the city or suburbs, our doual teams range from $900 – 1500.
