Looking to hire a doula?

Are you curious about hiring a doula but don’t know much about them? Take a quick read through our blog: We Want You To Consider A Doula

If you are ready to hire a Labor or Postpartum Doula for your birth or first weeks postpartum, please visit our Birth + Postpartum Doulas resource page below.

FAQ: Does the birth center work with doulas?

Yes, we are huge fans of doulas, and talk with every client about the possibility of adding doula care to their birth team. We do not have doulas on staff at the Birth Center of Chicago. Any family looking to have additional support from a labor or postpartum doula would need to explore hiring a doula independently from BCC.

Doula Guide Post

Flyer for a doula workshop titled 'Doula Guide Post' scheduled for June 10 from 6 to 9 pm at birth center of Chicago. The flyer features a cartoon-style road sign with arrows pointing in different directions, labeled 'Community' and 'Confidence.' The text explains the workshop is free, designed for doulas seeking practical support, and aims to build community and personal growth.

This free gathering is focused on newer doulas who are looking for connection, and support, and information about how to move through the Chicago Doula world with a bit more ease, and a bit less stress.

This is led by a seasoned Doula with hospital and community birth experience. Past attendees have shared that coming to this group has offered clarity on next steps, understanding, and connection with others.

Any future DGP meetings will be posted here.
