Title: Welcoming the Role of a Doula: New Perinatal Support Services for Illinois Medicaid Enrollees

The journey of pregnancy and motherhood is a profound experience that deserves to be nurtured and supported every step of the way. Recognizing the importance of providing holistic care to pregnant and postpartum individuals, Illinois Medicaid is now offering new perinatal doula and lactation consultant services. This initiative aims to enhance the well-being of expectant and new mothers by providing them with additional support and resources during this transformative period in their lives.

Perinatal doulas play a crucial role in advocating for the physical, emotional, and informational needs of pregnant women and new mothers. By offering continuous support throughout the perinatal period, doulas empower individuals to make informed decisions about their birthing experience and help create a nurturing environment for mother and baby. Similarly, lactation consultants provide invaluable guidance and assistance to women who are navigating the intricacies of breastfeeding, ensuring a successful and fulfilling breastfeeding journey for both mother and child.
