Testimonial for Sue Chargo, ICBD, ICCE, (ICEA) Doula, Educator, Lactation Counselor, Doula Trainer
Sue was a fantastic doula that helped us prepare for birth, have a successful and positive birthing experience and answer questions and provide advice post partum. We immediately felt at ease with Sue and really valued how collaborative and supportive she was. In the process of preparing for birth and creating a birth plan, she helped us determine what we wanted in our experience and provided information on the pros and cons of various options. We never felt like she pushed us towards a certain decision, but rather that she provided support and guidance that helped us feel secure and prepared.
During labor, Sue was a fantastic extra set of hands as well as an important advocate for our desires. She was able to help us interface with the hospital staff in a positive and collaborative way. She provided emotional and physical support for labor and delivery and made sure to answer our questions and capture key moments. She also kept a log of everything that happened during the process and prepared a birth timeline for us which was very helpful in reflecting on the event afterwards.
Post labor, she has been an invaluable resource for questions as they arise. She checks in frequently to ensure that we are all doing well and encourages us to ask her any questions or raise any concerns to her. Overall, we really appreciated Sue's support throughout the process and would highly recommend her to others considering a doula.
