Midwife and Doula near Palatine, IL

I've always visited an Ob-Gyn and am not familiar with midwives or doulas. Now that I'm pregnant, I've heard a lot of good things about midwives/doulas. If you've had experiences before, can you share the pros/cons from your point of view? Additionally, do you have a personal referral for a midwife and doula in the area that you can share? If you could also kindly describe reasons why you recommend them that would be very helpful as well. I live in Palatine but nearby suburb areas may work too. Thanks!!

Allergic to Baby?

I've had stress hives off and on (rarely) since 10 years old. I became higlhly allergic to dust mites, pollens, molds and animals with fur after the age of 18. I take alternating doses of zyrtec and claritin. Even with my 13 cats, this allergy med regime works 98% of the time. Since the baby has come home (1.5 months, baby is 2 months), I've had hives spring up at east 2 times a week, if not more. It's mainly hives over and under my breasts, underarms, and lips would swell. The last few times, it was more widespread... crease at...

Need Referral for Therapist / Psychologist / Like

Does anyone out there have a therapist or psychologist they would recommend in the northeast 'burbs (I'm in Libertyville, Gurnee, Mundelein area)? I am married and extremely unhappy in my marriage. My husband has no motivation, contributes little to the bills and has a narrow view that only consists of himself. What do I mean by all of that? I mean he is unhappy in his job and has a test coming up in a few months to get into a union and make a career change. He knows the test will be difficult for him and he's had a year to study, but...

Marriage Counselor Recommendation in Denver

Hi - Can anyone recommend a marriage counselor in the Denver area? We have never been to counseling but I feel it would help our marriage. Our son is 14 months old and having a baby has really changed our marriage. We looked up who our insurance (UHC) covers and got 100s of responses, so I'm not sure where to go. Since we only get 5 visits covered, I want to make a good choice of who to see. If someone has had a really good experience with marriage counselor, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks.

What to Do About This Orthodontist?

So my daughter has completed her “phase one” of orthodontic work to fix an overbite. During that course of treatment, starting around the age of 10, she had 6 teeth pulled. The first two by a dentist and the other 4 by a oral surgeon with laughing gas. After the first teeth pulling my daughter was beyond traumatized so that is why we spent the extra dough to have an oral surgeon do the next recommended teeth to extraction. Now 2 years later, we are in the limbo phase before the 2nd phase where the orthodontist wants to put braces on...

Should We See a Dermatologist for Infant Eczema?

Need some advice/recommendations. I have a 5 month old with mild eczema. Our pediatrition told us to put cortizone cream on the red spots and put sesame oil on him to hydrate (vs. lotions). I'm not sure if I am supposed to put the sesame oil all over him in leau of lotion. I hate the smell of it too. Curious if anyone ever had a doc tell them to do this? I am noticing the cortizone seems to help more than the oil. I've noticed it has gotten a bit worse on his back only. The other spots are about the same and there are not that many...

General Practioner Vs. Pediatrician

Currently, I have my daughter going to a General practioner. I have no real complaints with her medical care as she is healthy. However, I wonder if there are any benefits of going to a pediatrician that I am missing by taking her to a GP. She was breastfed for the first year of her life, she's a pretty healthy eater but she is not on any vitamins. Should she be?

PED Or Family Doctor?

Hi our kids are 11yrs,7yrs,and 5yrs. We have belonged to the same to the PED for 11yrs. For the most part we have satisfied. Now that our kids are getting older we spend less time visiting dr office. It would more convenient if my kids were at the same family practice as myself and my husband. I find it very appealing. What do you Think?

Need to Find a Quest Location That Has an Infant Specialist

My doctor has recommended that I take my 5 month old to have blood drawn for an allergy panel. I am unable to get a live person on the phone at Quest but want to find a location that has an infant specialist so they don't poke and prod my little one. Does anyone know a location with an infant specialist or does anyone know someone who works at Quest who might know this? Or is there a phone number where I can get a live person on the phone? Thanks!
