Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
Char was a phenomenal resource and advocate for me and my baby throughout pregnancy and birth. I chose Char after recommendations from friends and was very excited to find out she specializes in VBACs. I never planned on "needing" a doula but with my husband in Afghanistan and babies that would only be 13 months apart, it seemed reasonable to try. I had a c-section with my oldest daughter due to breech positioning and was desperately trying to avoid another c-section. Char spent many hours educating me and discussing the birth process so I could be prepared for a vaginal birth. When I found out my second daughter was breech as well, I was frustrated and disappointed. Char maintained a positive, supportive attitude and helped me every step of the way - spinning baby exercises and other turning ideas, external cephalic version, and finally another scheduled c-section. She didn't meet my husband until the day of the c-section but included him in the process from day one. She even helped him really get in on the action in the c-section which he really enjoyed. From my first meeting to the week after birth, Char was there. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone, regardless of situation. Her knowledge, positivity and encouragement was an absolute God send for my family and me.
