Postpartum Planning

July 23 | 6-7pm | At CCHE & Zoom

Presenter and Partner: Arrowhead Birth Collective

Join us for a relaxed, supportive session focused on postpartum planning! Whether you're expecting your first baby or adding to your growing family, this is a great opportunity to explore what life after birth can look like—emotionally, physically, and practically.

Hosted by the doulas of the Arrowhead Birth Collective, we’ll talk through recovery tips, emotional wellness, support systems, feeding plans, rest strategies, and setting realistic expectations. We'll also share personal stories and expert insights to help you feel more prepared and less alone.

Enjoy light snacks and a welcoming atmosphere as you plan for a smoother, more supported postpartum experience.

We know life is unpredictable—walk-ins are always welcome! Babies and kiddos are welcome, too.

Arrowhead Birth Collective (ABC) is a group of birth workers who aim to provide perinatal support and make doula care more accessible in Cook County—in the fall of 2022, four women, Grace Granger, Hannah Miller, Sadie Sigford, and Britt Malec, collaborated to create increased access to doula services. “We want to make doula care accessible to people in the region, as well as create a culture of support around the experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. We aim to provide services for people locally who may want support for a home birth, planned induction in Duluth, or someone with birth physiology knowledge to accompany them on the drive to the hospital,” said Malec.
