Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
I had the honor of having Char Perkins as my Doula for the birth of my son in June 2016. This being my first child I read everything I could and took the recommended birthing classes. I just knew that I was going to labor at home and that everything was going to go quickly and as planned. I didn't labor at home; I was induced. I had a 20-hour labor and interventions that I didn't plan on. From my experience, a lot of what you need to do during labor and delivery is instinctual. With the encouragement and support of Char and my spouse I was free to follow those instincts. I was given invaluable encouragement when I had moments of self-doubt. I felt safe, supported, validated, and empowered throughout my labor and delivery. A lot of that was possible because I had a doula supporting both my partner and myself. Char has an amazing relationship with all the hospital nurses and midwives that provided me care and they were all excited to work with her...her presence seemed to put everyone at ease. I didn't get "my money's worth" with Char. I got so much more. The feelings I have associated with the birth of my child as well as my memories are eternally positive despite not having my ideal birth story. I will definitely use Char's services for baby #2 and I highly recommend her.
