Char was very much worth the price!! Labor and delivery is nothing like you see on tv. She gave us peace of mind and confidence during a very scary time. The movies don't portray women shaking uncontrollably but that is what was happening to me. Char gave my husband and I the dedicated reassurance and information we needed (because nurses are only in to check on you about every hour). She also gave us things to try to expedite the process. At one point the nurses were even learning a new technique from her. If you are at all considering hiring a doula pull the trigger; we are very convinced it wouldve been chaotic without Char.
More than just reassurance for me, my husband is a huge advocate for Char as well. Because she was concerned with my health/ progress he had confidence and wasn't terrified with my shaking or sounds and he could focus on rubbing me and comforting me (knowing what i was doing was normal).
