Testimonial for Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
My husband and I first met Char taking the Childbirth Prep class at Genesis East that she was teaching. We did not know what a doula was or the services that they could provide in preparing for birth and during the process of labor and delivery. My husband suggested we meet with Char to learn more about her services, and see if it would be something we would be interested in as we were preparing to welcome our first child. After meeting with Char we were impressed with all her knowledge and felt that her services as a doula would be extremely beneficial to us. We hired Char late in my pregnancy, and my only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner! This was our first, and all of the resources and information that she provided during pregnancy were very informative and helpful. My labor time at the hospital was extremely short, but having Char there helped my husband and I to feel more comfortable during the whole process. Char was a calming presence in the delivery room, she helped my husband to coach me through each contraction, and give encouragement when I wasn't sure if I could keep going. Char was a great advocate for us throughout labor and delivery. I think my husband was especially glad to have Char in the delivery room so he didn't have to feel the pressure of remembering everything and felt supported as well. This allowed my husband to focus on encouraging me throughout my delivery, and not having to worry about remembering things we had learned in class. Hiring Char helped make our first delivery of our daughter such a positive experience. We would definitley recommend Char to other parents looking for doula services!
