I would highly recommend Sue as your doula! From the moment my husband and I interviewed her we knew she would be a perfect fit for us. We were sold on her warm, compassionate spirit along with her high level of knowledge and expertise. Since it was my first pregnancy, I had a million questions throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpardum. Sue was very quick to respond to every question with expertise, kindness and understanding. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, my labor did not go as planned and was extremely long. Sue was there to coach me through it and support my every decision. She also helped me with breastfeeding questions and concerns. She is an amazing resource to have during your journey into motherhood!

Sue is an amazing doula! She has such a calming and kind presence. I was able to deliver without any medications (other than nitrous) or an IV and I don't know if I could have done it without Sue's calm voice guiding me through it. Sue is extremely knowledgeable and is available at anytime for questions and advice. Sue has a great bag of tricks and was very understanding, accommodating and creative to my individual needs. She made my husband and I feel comfortable. I highly recommend Sue!

The first "baby" thing we accomplished after learning I was pregnant was hiring a doula. I felt like that was the number one thing that I could do to put myself at ease. It was great to know that I would have that support during labor but also if questions arose during my pregnancy! Sue was great from the first time we met with her. My husband and I interviewed several doulas and ultimately we both felt that Sue was the best fit for us. Sue has a warm, endearing sense that made me feel at ease and comfortable from the beginning. Sue felt like a mom to me during the pregnancy and labor process. I felt like Sue would help and support us to make the best decision regardless of our sitaution. I ended up having an "easy" delivery with Sue's help. She encouraged me to try different positions etc. and baby arrived 3 hours after I checked into the hospital without an epidural. I was happy I was able to avoid an epidural, however, I was open to having one depending on the circumstances and I liked that Sue was willing to support either decision, unlike some other doulas I had met. My OB was also very happy that Sue was supportive of either option. Finally, my husband who didn't want much to do with the birth process and wasn't sure about hiring a doula in the beginning, was a rockstar with Sue's support---I couldn't have been more happy or surprised! I would 100% recommend Sue to anyone looking for a doula!

We were so thankful to have Sue Chargo as support throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum visits.
As first time parents we sought out an experienced doula to ensure we had the support we needed.
Sue was easy to communicate from the beginning. She has a calm demeanor and is really approachable.
From our perspective she was amazing to have at our side during labor. She nailed it with partnering with the nurses and identified that I could push more.
After the birth of our baby boy, I had lots of questions about breastfeeding or how to get this little boy to sleep on his own. I loved being able to text Sue the questions I had.
Sue was an important piece of our experience; I wish all families could experience having the care of a doula like Sue!
