Char was a blessing to our birth story! I was very open to the birthing experience and didn't have a set plan other than to go with the flow but I knew I wanted Char by my side to help educate me, create a happy environment and to protect my family should anything wild or crazy happen along the way.
Char didn't let us down. She was by my side the entire time. I had strong contractions for nearly 9 hours and Char kept me moving and believing in myself and my body. At one point I had a nurse that I was really fond of, and even though what she was telling me was true, Char had a much more nurturing tone and was able to redirect me in a positive way. Even with my eyes closed I was searching for Chars voice. She is very calming And will be your biggest cheerleader.
I ended up having a c-section and again I was so thankful Char was there. I felt comfortable with the c-section because I knew my body did everything it possibly could and that Char wouldn't have let a c-section happen quickly without deep thoight and/or medically necessary. In the OR her support was great! My husband was able to be in the moment and Char kept me informed on everything that was happening.
i wouldnt want to go through child birth without Char!
