Char is amazing! She has a wonderful, bubbly personality that lets you feel at ease with her. Her passion for the birth process and making it what you want is at the top of her list. The only regret I have is not hiring her for the birth of my first child. I thought the nurses would be enough. But after that experience, having Char by my side is priceless. She has now been there for the birth of my second and third child and it has made such a difference in my experience. Having her there has meant good memories for my labor and relaxing when not having contractions. When I did she offered support, suggestions, and encouragement. She was their with warm blankets when I was cold and cold wash cloths when I was hot. She helped me let my body do what it needed to do effectively. Having someone in the room all of the time to focus and cator to just you takes the fear and anxiety out of the situation. She is there to answer questions and let you know if what you are experiencing is normal or if something else is needed. She is there for all aspects - emotional and physical. She helps to make sure you keep your energy up with getting you drink and sure makes one great orange slushy! As much as I've said I don't want to do preganancy again, my experience with Char present at my labor says I would do it all over again. So if a fourth one is ever in the picture, once again, one of the first calls I will make is to hire Char!
