Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
I am so thankful to have had Char as our doula for our first pregnancy! My husband and I met Char at a Centering Session at our doctor’s office and then took her birth class at the hospital. The more it became clear we wanted a natural childbirth, the more we realized the benefit of having an extra support person and expert in the room. Char worked with us to create a birth plan we were comfortable with, and she was very open to our preferences and desires as we envisioned what the birth would be like. She sent us lots of resources and information, and in the weeks leading up to the birth, she and I kept in close contact as things began happening. Our little guy ended up being a week late and she was such an encouragement those last few days! When I finally went into labor, Char was right there with us providing suggestions and support throughout the day. She encouraged both my husband and myself as things got tougher with the labor, and she made wonderfully helpful suggestions about positions, comfort measures, etc. to keep things moving forward. In the end, we were fortunate to have the natural birth we had wanted, and we really don’t think we would have made it through without Char.
We would highly recommend her to anyone and hope to work with her again for any future pregnancies of our own. So much of childbirth is mental and emotional - and we agree we couldn’t have found a better doula than Char!
