You Don’t Need to Remember Everything — You Just Need Support That Does. - Chicago Doula Support
You’ve taken the classes. You’ve read the books. You’ve bookmarked every reel about labor positions and packed your hospital bag twice.
And yet… the closer you get to your due date, the more those details start to blur together.
What if I forget what to do when contractions start?
What if my partner forgets what to say — or not say?
What if I freeze and can’t remember what helps me feel grounded?
You’re not alone.
One of the most common things my doula clients tell me is that once labor starts — or even in the tense weeks leading up to it — all that preparation can fly right out the window. And honestly? That’s completely normal.
That’s why one of the most valuable parts of having a doula is peace of mind.
It’s one less list you need to make.
One less thing to memorize.
One more person in your corner who already knows how to help you feel calm and confident.
All you have to do is breathe, rest, and remember — your support, your soundboard, and your reminders are just a text away.
The Birth Support Guide You Didn’t Know You Needed
I originally created this guide for my clients — so they could have the most important information right at their fingertips.
It’s simple, clear, and designed for real life — not theory.
Think of it like your mini cheat sheet for birth:
💫 Quick reference for comfort measures
💫 Easy-to-understand reminders for partners
💫 Affirmations and grounding tools for when things feel intense
💫 Designed to help you feel capable and calm — not overwhelmed
And now, I want to share it with you.
Birth Tip (or Myth Bust!)
You don’t need to memorize every single birthing position or technique to have a positive experience.
You just need a few key reminders that help you feel safe and supported in the moment.
That’s exactly what this guide gives you — practical, at-a-glance support you can actually use when it matters most.
