The Elgin Doula

Breathing won't make contractions disappear — but the right techniques can help 🤍

As doulas serving the Chicago suburbs and Chicagoland area, we often teach breathing techniques as part of birth preparation because they can help reduce tension, encourage relaxation, and keep you focused during labor.

In this reel, our doulas are sharing a few of their favorite breathing techniques for labor. The best technique is the one that helps you relax and work through your contractions, one breath at a time. 🌿
