The birth of my son was the 150th birth that Char was the Doula for; I feel this say so much on its own! Another thing which speaks volumes is that this is the 2nd birth Char was our Doula. She also delivered our 1st son almost 3 years ago. A birth of a child is such an important time for a family, my husband and I knew right away when we learned I was pregnant again that we were going to ask Char to participate in such a special moment with us.
With my 1st delivery, I wanted Char to be my Doula to help my husband I get through the birth, because neither of us knew what to expect. With the 2nd delivery I wanted Char to be my Doula because my husband and I did know what to expect and we appreciated having the naturally calming presence that Char brings with her in the delivery.
I knew this delivery was going to be quick, and it was, 2 hours of total labor time. Even knowing the 2nd delivery was going to be quick, my husband I never questioned having Char as our Doula. To me, Char is a truly amazing person. She plays such a big role in the delivery room, but does not take from the important role of the husband or Dr's and the medical staff. She provides additional professional / caring support to the mom and the dad.
I would recommend Char Perkins as a Doula to any woman who is going to have a baby. And if my husband I decide to have another child, Char Perkins will be one of the 1st people we contact to make sure she can be our Doula again.
