Mordy’s Birth Story
Shortly after we moved back to the US in the summer of 2014, I become pregnant again with Mordecai (aka Mordy in our family). Like with Ketzi, I suffered from HG and was throwing up anywhere from 5-10 times per day.
Childbirth Classes in Chicagoland
I recommend ALL my doula clients take some type of childbirth education class. Here are a few of my favorite options in the Chicago metro area and also the Chicago suburbs.
Ketzi’s Birth Story
Probably the number one thing almost all my clients want to know is my own birth stories. It’s somewhat controversial in the doula world to share your own birth stories, but mine are quite varied and I think that’s one of the things that makes me so open-minded about whatever my Elgin Doula Moms want for their own pregnancies and births.

Most cultures around the world take very seriously the 30-40 days after birth. This is considered a vital time of rest, recovery, and bonding with baby.
