GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT
Our doulas provide personalized care through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. Our services include childbirth education classes, support groups, and home visits to empower young parents with the knowledge and confidence to prepare them for their new role. Doulas give reassurance, encouragement, and guidance during labor and delivery to help the young mother have the healthiest, most positive birth experience possible.
WORKING TOGETHER
Doula services begin with weekly home visits to help you learn more about your pregnancy, your health, and to help you prepare for labor and delivery. You and your Doula will work together on topics including:
- Fetal development
- Prenatal health and wellness
- Labor and delivery
- Newborn care
PRENATAL GROUP
Teen Parent Connection’s Prenatal Groups are held in eight-week sessions and are facilitated by agency Doulas. The groups allow young parents to come together in a supportive environment to learn about their changing bodies, healthy prenatal lifestyles, and what to expect as they prepare to welcome a baby into their lives.
CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION CLASSES
Social and emotional support is important during pregnancy and parenting, and Childbirth Education Class offers you the opportunity to meet other parents-to-be that might share your concerns, questions, and goals. Participants are encouraged to ask questions during these eight-week sessions. Staff members are devoted to creating a safe and warm place to discuss parenting topics such as:
- Health during pregnancy
- What to expect during labor
- Birthing choices
Teen Parent Connection services are always free of charge and voluntary.*PLEASE NOTE* Teen Parent Connection only provides services in DuPage County, Illinois and surrounding areas; at this time we cannot provide resources out of state or service area.
