While this might seem like an easy question to answer it’s not black and white. The great thing about living in a large city like Chicago is there’s tons of options available to you, but this can also mean you have to learn about all your options.
The first big question is where do you ideally want to have your baby? You have three options in terms of location.
At Windy City Doulas, one of the things we hear all the time when interviewing with clients is, “I think the idea of a doula is great and we’re interested, but….”
-I am having my baby at the hospital
-I am delivering with an OB
-I want an epidural
-I’ll need to be induced early
-I’m planning a csection
These statements are followed by, “Do you work with families who are planning this type of birth?.” Our answer? Of course, we do!!!!!!
We at Windy City Doulas want to say that there are some pretty awesome things happening at Prentice (Northwestern), and we’re not just talking about the flat screen TVs and views of Lake Michigan.
