“We had an amazing experience with Chicago Family Doulas for postpartum overnight care twice a week when my son was 5 weeks to 9 weeks old. If you have the means to use this service, or if your employer has a doula benefit, I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to this agency. I filled out their online form in a daze of sleeplessness on a Sunday morning, after finding out my husband’s company offered a $2,000 doula reimbursement. Someone replied immediately and set up a call for later that day. We were matched with a doula later that week, had a zoom call to meet/interview her, and she started on Thursday night. Our doula, Anika, was incredibly sweet, a great communicator, and took amazing care of our son while my husband and I were able to get uninterrupted sleep twice a week. We ended up using her services for longer than the work benefit fully paid for, but it was worth it. This was our second child, and it completely changed my postpartum experience. I wish we would have hired her sooner than 5 weeks. I highly recommend researching your company’s benefits to see if you have anything like this offered to you!”
