Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
Char Perkins was our doula for the birth of our 9th child born June 2015. We had used an excellent doula for the birth of our 8th child but the doula had recently moved out of state so we had to find a new doula and chose Char. So this was the second time we had used a doula and the experience with Char was wonderful. Char was very friendly, supportive and attentive for our needs. She has extensive experience and knowledge in this field. When my labor wouldn’t progress she suggested many different techniques to try. She suggested the technique of using the peanut ball and worked fantastically for me. It made me quickly transition into the pushing stage. I was very surprised but very pleased how well this technique worked for my body. I had never heard of this technique before so I am thankful for Char’s knowledge of this.
I had always thought that because my husband and I had being through so many natural births with our children we didn’t need the assistant of a doula. However we had assumed incorrectly. We have found that a doula has a very unique and important role alongside my husband’s coaching and our midwife’s role. Our midwife would come and check on my progress and then leave again but Char was there for the whole labor and delivery to support and encourage me.
I would highly recommend Char as a doula. She is a wonderful doula.
