We wanted to have a birth that would be as short and natural as possible. While many people will tell you that you can't "plan" a birth, we were able to achieve exactly what we wanted and follow our birth plan because of Char Perkins. My water broke before I went into labor, which often necessitates intervention, such as pitocin. However, working with Char and following her techniques, we had our baby in 8 hours with no epidural. Furthermore, Char has the right credentials to coach you through the process- she is a certified nurse and experienced doula. In fact, her coaching took a lot of pressure off of my husband so that he could make calls to the insurance company, communicate with relatives, and simply be my cheerleader. Char also has a bubbly and flexible personality, so she is a joy to have around. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Char as your doula. It was the best money we spent preparing for our baby.
