I'll be VBACing my 2nd child on or around May 4th. I think I want a doula to help with labor and delivery. I live in Elmhurst and I will be birthing with Midwifery and Women's Health out of the ABC rooms at West Suburban Hospital. ...

I'll be VBAC delivering in the ABC rooms at West Suburban in early May. (We're with "Midwifery and Women's Health" Mary, Nancy and Elise. They're the only ones who will do a VBAC.) My DH and I just went to the ABC...
