Testimonial for Charity Wheeler
As a first time mom I initially questioned whether hiring a doula for my hospital delivery was necessary, but I am so glad we found Charity and had her with us throughout this experience! Working with Charity was invaluable. From our initial interview to our postpartum visit, Charity was always personable, kind, and generous with her time; we always felt like a priority.
As I informed her of how the early stages of my labor were progressing (which were in the late evening) she made sure I knew she was available no matter the time of night. As things progressed very slowly the next day I wasn’t sure when it was best to ask Charity to come because I did not want her to have to be there too early(if there is such a thing). It was as if Charity had read my mind and knew this about me because her reply to my next update text was that she would like to be with me through the next stage if that was alright with me and planned on coming to meet us. It was a relief to not feel like a burden asking her to come and also made me feel very supported.
Throughout active labor Charity was an amazing asset both physically and mentally; she provided great hands-on supportive techniques, supported my husband’s involvement, and provided consistent encouragement. Even when aspects of my labor and delivery required interventions outside of my desired birth plan, Charity assisted with education and support that allowed for well-informed decision making with my care team and made me feel better able to advocate for myself and feel empowered throughout each step.
My husband has also proclaimed how thankful he was that we worked with Charity. He felt so much better able to advocate for and support me through my labor with her help. If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, I highly recommend doing so and you cannot go wrong with meeting with Charity to see if she would be a great fit for you too!
