Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
My husband and I had a great experience by having Char as our doula. This was our first baby and we we both wanted to have a natural birth and avoid using drugs or having an epidural, if at all possible. We were not planning on having a doula, but when we met Char in our Childbirth Preparedness class, and heard her talk about the kind of services she could offer, we decided we would like to give it a try. Boy are we glad we did! We let Char know our birth plan and she helped us stick to it. During labor Char helped talk my husband and I through what was going on and helped me focus to make the most of my contractions. She provided a great support for both my husband and I. She seems very good at getting a feel for her clients coping strategies, and adjusting her methods to fit your style. Char knew when to let me do what I was doing and exactly when I needed to change position to get through contractions and to make them as productive as possible. I ended up having a great labor and did not need to use any drugs or have an epidural and we owe a lot of that to Char. The support and assurance she offered my husband really helped him to stay relaxed and focused on helping me as well. He has repeatedly expressed his gratitude for having her there. Char is a great Doula and we feel blessed to have had her help and expertise through this experience. I'm sure I would not have done so well without her.
