This year nearly 2/3 of my doula clients have used IVF or some sort of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to get pregnant!!

The reasons are varied and many where each family might choose to go down this route to conceive a baby. I’ve had clients with rare genetic conditions in either the mother or father, a history for many losses, and male or female infertility.

It’s an extremely costly journey… physically, emotionally, and financially. So I am beyond THRILLED for couples when they’ve gone through this process and are ready to hire me as their doula for the rest of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum season. It’s SUCH an honor!!

As a doula & childbirth educator who specializes in supporting high-risk pregnancies, I always like to keep things DATA DRIVEN…so here are the TOP 3 Chicago IVF Clinics with the highest live birth rates! ALL data comes from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART).
