Downers Grove + Chicagoland
I’m Erica Wegner, a certified labor and postpartum doula.
I'm Erica - I help families feel informed, heard, and supported through pregnancy, birth, and life with a new baby.
You know your body and your family. I’m here to help you ask questions and express what matters to you and your family.
Outside of doula work: I'm a parent of three, I love reading and gardening, and feeding people I love.
Support for labor, the days after, and feeding your baby.
Prenatal preparation, advocacy, and consistent support during labor and birth.
Practical help, emotional support, and reassurance as you recover and settle into life with your baby.
Support with feeding questions and goals, with respect for your body and your family’s choices.
A person focused on supporting you, alongside your medical team.
Understand your options, prepare for birth, and have space to ask questions.
Feel supported in communicating your preferences and asking for what you need.
Your body, your choices. Care that respects your identity, family, and birth preferences.

|---|---|

Doulas provide nonmedical support. I work alongside your medical professionals and do not replace their care.
Here’s how we work together, from our first conversation onward.
We talk about what you need and see if it feels like a good fit.
Explore your options, preferences, and comfort measures, with your support person involved.
Steady, continuous support during labor and birth, with space for your choices.
Practical help and reassurance as you recover and find your family’s rhythm.
