Hi there, I am looking for a VBAC-friendly provider in Chicago. Preferably midwife or family practitioner. I plan to have a drug free hospital birth with a doula.

I would prefer someone practicing in Chicago. Going up to Lakeview is fine. I am not from Chicago and I really don't know what is...

We just moved to Elgin about 3 mos. ago. I just found out a couple of weeks ago that I am pregnant. Needless to say I don't have a Dr. I would prefer a midwife or a Dr. with more of a holistic approach but I will check out anyone that is highly recommended. Also curious as to where people delivered and what their experiences were like. Any leads or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
