Testimonial for Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
Char has been our doula for the birth of both of our children. We met initially through a course through our hospital and could tell upfront she was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about babies and the delivery process.
Char was extremely helpful in the delivery room. Both of our deliveries were natural births, without medications. Our first labor was 10 hrs., the 2nd 4 1/2 hrs. Char was helpful at assisting with walking us around the hospital during contractions, using the excercise ball, the whirpool tub, and ultimately the birthing process as we progressed through the labor. We could of not had a better delivery for our first born.
Our 2nd delivery went much faster- our contractions started at home and from Char's shared knowledge we stated at home the first hour before heading to the hospital. My water broke upon reaching the ER, Char was contacted and came shortly to the hospital thereafter. My contractions were much stronger and quicker (and painful) with my second child and Char helped moniter and let me know they would be peaking. She was crucial at reminding us to take one at a time. Fortunatley I was able to get into the whirlpool tub which helps immensly with contractions and I was needing to push and deliver shortly thereafter.
Char has been very supportive and we feel blessed to have had her help with our children. We would highly recommend Char and believe we couldn't have had a better labor/delivery with our little ones.
