Testimonial for Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)

My goal was to have as natural as a childbirth as possible.  Char was awesome as far as getting my husband and I information about natural childbirth and supporting our birthplan.  Unfortunately, my labor and delivery did not go as planned (long story short, I had to be induced due to preeclampsia and I never made it passed 6 cm dilation, thus resulting in a C section).  I did manage, however, to labor for many hours with pitocin without using an epidural and Char played a big part in making that happen.  When I complained of back labor (baby was posterior), she was there applying pressure to my back and applying cold wash clothes to help numb the pain.  Throughout the whole labor process, she was also available to answer any questions we had and explain things in a way that my husband and I could understand.  And she did all of this on very little sleep, as she had a different delivery the night before.  If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would choose Char as a doula.
