Janelle was a wonderful help and support to me throughout my labor and delivery. She arrived quickly so she was right by my side as soon as I needed her. She was cheerful and excited about the day! She arrived well-prepared and ready for anything! She helped me make decisions when I became weary and beyond caring anymore. She was strong, confident, supportive, and gave me the courage I lacked when fear and the pain overwhelmed me. She helped me cope by rubbing my back to help me relax through contractions; she held my hand so I never felt alone; she spoke words of reassurance faithfully over and over again such as, "This is good, it's bringing your baby!" ..."Don't be afraid, God is helping you"..."Jesus made your body to do this"..."Relax your jaw"..."Keep your voice low"... Janelle's presence was truly a blessing to both my husband and I on that hard, yet special day of our daughter's birth.
