My review is from the husband/support perspective. In 100% honesty having Char by my/our side ranks at the top of my list of best investments I've ever made, period. First time parents, we did all of the pre-delivery classes and felt like I had an idea of what to expect. However, 2 months before est. DOB I began to think that communication (even in a good marriage like ours) could prove challenging between spouses amidst a very stressful/painful time of life and having a medical professional both spouses know in advance and both trust proved to be an asset worth more to me than gold. What do you do when a curve ball comes your way that you don't know what to do - and the person you love most in this world is in pain you can't even imagine and you don't have the answers to help as a husband?) If you have a long delivery, nurses change out during shifts and your OB-gyn is not in the room until the 9th inning of the delivery - you have to learn to communicate with new people who you don't know at all. Char Perkins is a fantastic communicator and handled the labor support and medical process communication with unparalleled grace, knowledge and kindness that I've never seen before amidst so much stress. Without Char as our doula I'm convinced I would have broken during this process....instead with her- I felt a level of confidence despite what several of the rest of the delivery team said was one of the more challenging deliveries of recent times they'd seen. Mrs. Perkins is a true professional and would make a huge asset to your health care team! If your on the fence about hiring a doula because you've ( like me pre-pregnancy) perhaps never heard of doula and are uncertain about it....Char is perfect! She has SO MUCH experience in the hospital as a nurse and she is 100% the right person for one of the biggest days of your life. Your spouse is the real superstar throughout the delivery process but an easy #2 MVP is Mrs. Perkins! A++ 5 star service.
