Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
My husband and I hired Char for the birth of our first child, and the decision to do so was great. Char was very supportive and helpful in building our birth plan. Due to some complications we weren't able to follow through with the birth plan exactly as planned, but thankfully we had Char there to help us through a rough delivery. Char offered us a tremendous amount of support and caring. After laboring it was discovered that our baby was facing the wrong direction (sunny side up) and I had to go in for a c section. Unfortunately the epidural did not numb me enough for the surgery so I had to have general anesthesia and therefore my husband could not be in the operating room. Thankfully Char was there to explain to him what was happening and keep him updated on everything. Since I had general anesthsia, I was still very much "out of it" during my baby's first moments. However, Char was there through the whole thing and captured many precious photos of my husband seeing our beautiful little girl for the first time. Since I don't remember any of that, I am incredibly grateful for those pictures. I cannot express through words how comforting it was to know that Char was with my husband while all of this was taking place. Char even came to check on us in the hospital a day later. I would recommend Char to anyone seeking doula services. I would definitely hire her again in the future!
