Testimonial for Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
Char was amazing. We hadn't thought much about hiring a doula until we took Char's childbirth class. We learned that having a doula lowers the chances of needing a c-section and we realized that having someone there for support during birth so that we wouldn't have to worry about remembering everything in class would be useful. My husband and I knew it would be helpful, but didn't realize how much having Char there would mean to us. Not only did she do a great job of listening to what we wanted when we met before the birth, but she was also a great resource at the end of pregnancy, always reachable and always willing to answer any questions and reassure me whenever needed. On the day I went into labor, my husband was so sick he could barely get off the couch in the hospital room. Char took care of me, helping me deal with the pain and get through contractions, but she also helped make sure that my husband was taken care of and that he could get some sleep so he could be there for our son's birth. Char also helped to make sure everyone knew what we wanted, to mand sure I got to hold my baby right away. She was wonderful to chat with between contractions and her encouragement was exactly what I needed in the hardest parts. She was wonderful and worth so much more than what it cost to hire her.
