Testimonial for Janet Harder
I met Janet when I was about 24 weeks pregnant after we had decided to make the move from Grande Prairie to Kamloops BC. She was extremely supportive of my choice to have a TOLAC (trial of labor after a cesarean) and told me she would help me to reach my goal! We met numerous times after I finally moved to Kamloops to discuss what I wanted to see when I delivered and she was very caring about my concerns. I was terrified of labor and the fear of another c section and she talked me through it and helped me to not be so worried. I ended up going into labor at 38 weeks 3 days my water broke in the morning and didn't look right so I sent Janet a picture to see If it was normal and she told me it looked like meconium and that I should go in to get it checked out. She was amazing I hadn't made any arrangements for anyone to watch my son and she helped me to find someone to come and watch him until someone could take over. She met my husband and I at the hospital and waited for the results to see if my water broke or not and sure enough they had and I went into labor instantly! She made sure that I was breathing through my contrations and showed my husband some ways to help relieve the pain! After 24 hours of labor I ended up needing an emergency c section and she supported me through it all! She made sure even after she let that I was okay and messaged me almost every day I was in the hospital and even stopped by to see me and the baby after we had gone home! She is an amazing woman and is super caring and supportive! When I go for a vba2c ( vaginal birth after 2 c sections ) I will be using her again if I end up staying in kamloops for our next! Janet is definitely someone you want on your birth support team if you're looking for a doula!
