Pregnancy is an amazing time of a woman's life when she becomes part of the miracle of birth. As a doula I am fortunate to get the chance to pamper pregnant women during labor and help them achieve a birth experience that they will remember forever. My name is Lydia Stuemke and I offer my services to families in the Central IL area. I look forward to becoming a valuable resource throughout your pregnancy and on through your child's birth.
Birth doulas offer professional labor support to women and their partners. They are an integral part of the birth team and are dedicated to helping families achieve their desired birth. As a doula I will be by your side, assisting your partner with labor support skills, giving you a variety of ideas and techniques to help labor progress smoothly and ease your discomfort.
I am hosting a screening of Ricki Lake's documentary The Business of Being Born. Click for additional information.
