"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 😊.

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. ❤️❤️

Clients who want a low intervention birth often ask me if there really is a difference between OBs and the midwifery model of care. The answer is, emphatically yes! I love this podcast and think this episode sheds a great light on the challenges modern moms face within the obstetrical system and how midwives may be the answer.

*Disclaimer of saying I know not all OBs are perpetuating violence and I am thankful we have them when they are needed....
