Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
Our experience with Sue was great! She was supportive and flexible from starting the process to the finish. My husband and I really liked her evidence based method of helping guide us through the birth process and decisions that we made. She was able to provide us with great information on our options going into buidlig our birth plan and tell us about various comfort options for labor. She helped us build a plan that we were comfortable with and made sure that we were as prepared as we could be. Since I had to be induced, we weren't able to use many options that we discussed and our birth plan became fluid depending on my needs. She was very focused on what was best for me and my husband throughout the evolving labor and delivery process. She was there for longer than she needed to be to help me cope with the pain and went above and beyond in helping support me as the labor progressed and into our delivery of our healthy son. She was able to quickly pinpoint what was most helpful for me throughout the process and worked to keep that our focus so that we could have the best delivery possible of our healthy baby boy.
After the birth, Sue also had great follow up, including a write up of what happened during the birth. She regularly followed up with texts to check in whether I needed any help and came by for several home visits, including offering addiitonal post-partum support. If I hadn't had a lot of family in the area, I would have taken her up on her offers to help. She also provided some good advice on baby behaviours and how to help with breast feeding, since I had some trouble in the beginning.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a doula who is supportive with a strong scientific evidence background and a focus on educating her clients.
