Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
This is our first child and we weren’t sure what to expect but we were Informed about birth Doula’s through our kinesiologist to help us with the whole process of birth and the immediate time after with breastfeeding and any other questions we would have. We are very glad we found Sue, she helped us prepare for the day, well ahead of time so we were able to go in more prepared with the process and also with what to pack in a hospital bag. I ended up going into labor late at night and gave Sue the call around 2 am when we got to the hospital and she answered right away, we were admitted and we gave her a text to head down around 4 am when things were starting to get active. She arrived shortly after we contacted her and immediately we had that sense of having someone we felt comfortable with to help us. She made sure to keep me hydrated and encouraged my husband to do the same. I ended up laboring in a few positions and ended up having our baby boy at 9:44 am. One great thing about the whole process was that when she arrived at the hospital she handed the nurse and midwife our birth preference sheet and from that moment forward there wasn’t a single question that needed to be answered, all our wants on the sheet had been taken into consideration and we were thankful that Sue had thought of seemingly every question that would need to be answered so there was no last minute things we needed to decide on. After birth she stayed with us and helped with the first feeding and then when it was time she left. She stopped by for a home visit and we chatted for a while with questions we had and she offered support anytime we need it. We will 100 percent use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for some comfort and help in their birthing journey!
