So excited to see everyone at the Babies & Bumps event tomorrow. Stop by our table for a mini labor kit for the first 50 visitors and catch my Birth Planning 101 class in the education rooms 🥰🥰.

Hi👋 I'm Tia Wente, co-founder of Chicagoland Birth and Baby!
My goal is to help every family have a better birth and postpartum experience. But what does "better" look like?
🔵A birth free from physical and emotional trauma.
🔵A birth team that enthusiastically supports you.
🔵Knowledge about the process of birth.
🔵Confidence in your ability to birth your baby.
🔵Support so you feel cared for and celebrated.
🔵Feeding support to lessen postpartum stress.
🔵A clear understanding of postpartum healing.
🔵A journey you can look back on fondly and not fearfully.

It is no secret that our US maternal and infant outcomes are not where they should be. But I am on a mission to spread the word that birth and postpartum do not have to feel so hard. With the right support team and resources, you can have a beautiful journey into parenthood and beyond. Doula support is backed by research to support improved outcomes for both moms and babies. You don't have to accept the expectations we have all been shown by popular media about birth and postpartum; set your family up for so much better.

Reach out to me today to learn more about our small team of passionate birth professionals and how we can support your family every step of the way.

No one can replace your partner in the birth space, but doulas can support you both! We want partners to fully enjoy and embrace the experience without having to worry about the what-ifs, how to help, and when they can grab a bite to eat or a restroom break. Let us help your partner be fully present for *you*.

Kind words from our clients always mean so much. This family is a true testament to the fact that c-sections can be healing and beautiful when you have the right support and feel heard and present during the process. We support families through all the twists and turns of labor and birth. No matter how you greet your baby at the finish line, we want you to feel empowered and supported through the whole journey. This day reminded me how beautiful the journey can be, even when the outcome was not the one that was planned for.

"Dr. Neel Shah, MD, MPP, FACOG says that the greatest influence on whether a birthing person has a cesarean is which door they walk through when in labor." As a doula, I 100% agree with this assessment. This is why we work so hard to help our clients find the best fit for their birth goals and why we will always be 100% honest about the experiences we have had at our local area hospitals.

We talk about this so much as doulas who are certified in VBAC support. It can be REALLY hard to spot an unsupportive provider who is being misleading until the red flags start waving in the very last weeks (or sometimes days) of pregnancy. This is why we work to help each client find their perfect VBAC provider.

We have moved! As much as we loved our time at 657 E Golf Rd, we have found a new home at 505 E Golf Rd, Suite H in Arlington Hights. We have more space to support you and are excited to pick up with our groups, classes, and seminars this spring ❤️❤️ Continue to follow to see the new office blossom and grow as it is still a work in progress 😊.

CBB is getting a bit of a revamp, and even though our logo may be different, we are here supporting families in the same compassionate and grounded way as we always have. Our core mission will never change: healthy and happy pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys for every family.

Doula support can make all the difference in having a positive and meaningful pregnancy and birth. We strive to bring compassionate care and support to every family we work with. We listen to your goals and collaborate with you to put your plan into action.
You CAN have an amazingly beautiful birth that is both physically and psychologically safe and rewarding. We expect better for our client than the status quo, and you should too.

Let's play hospital scavenger hunt! All four of my hospital based doula client's had babies at the same hospital this past month. Each time I snapped a Pic of where I was. Can you guess the hospital?? Bet my fellow doulas will know 😊😊😊

Saying goodbye to dear clients at the end of their postpartum contracts are never easy. Each family is special to us and leave a lasting impression. But watching them learn, grow, and thrive as a new family will forever be rewarding. ❤️❤️
