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.
The Last Few Months
It’s been quite a busy few months since my last blog post. I had a difficult tail end of my pregnancy with gestational hypertension, but baby Cyrus arrived safely on March 8th and we are all quite smitten!
The Fourth Trimester
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.
