A positive birth and postpartum experience doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of intentional preparation, informed decision making, and a strong circle of support. In this engaging and informative session, anna rodney, founder of Chicago family doulas and birth & baby university, will explore how families can transform their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey by integrating three essential pillars: the continuous presence of a doula, comprehensive preparation through high-quality childbirth education, and connection to a network of perinatal professionals.
