if you are looking for a doula in chicago, hire 312doulas, you won’t regret it! they are worth every penny and working with them during my births has been one of the best parenting decisions i’ve made.
i’ve been lucky enough to work with both heather and victoria during two separate births. both are phenomenal at what they do, compassionate, skilled, attentive, empowering, knowledgeable, and so so caring. during both births, they texted with me while i labored at home, met me as soon as i got to the hospital, provided hands on support throughout my labor and delivery experience, and stayed with me during the first few hours of postpartum.
just a few examples of how they specifically helped: they have a magical touch that helped me manage birth waves using counter pressure, heat packs and pressure points. they made suggestions for positions and actions for both me and my husband to keep things progressing. their mood matched what i was going through, providing jokes when needed and words of affirmation when needed. they collaborated flawlessly with hospital staff. they took amazing pictures during the experience. birth can get very intense and difficult - especially during transition - and my husband and i couldn’t have navigated it at all to the same degree without them. i feel so grateful to have lived my dream and positive birth experience for both births, much thanks to heather and victoria's presence.
i love the prenatal and postpartum weekly zoom meetings, it’s been great to connect with other moms in chicago and make new friends. and i found the classes they teach so informative and helpful - we took evidence based birth and spinning babies. they’ve provided placenta encapsulation and postpartum doula services for me; and lastly, they were always very responsive to my messages, providing personalized advice and support to supplement my pregnancy experience and support from my ob.
