Janet was our doula for my pregnancy and the birth of our son Elias. During the later part of my pregnancy she set up a meeting so my husband and I could get comfortable with her which wasn't an issue at all! She is so easy to talk to and be around which was a must for me as I'm a little shy around new people. Also, a must during labour as nothing is more personal than labour and birth. Janet is very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had at anytime of the day or night. She made it clear she was available whenever I needed her!
My labour was very long and hard with trips back and forth to the hospital. She was there for all of it, providing calmness, explanations as to what was going on, drinks and heat/cold packs, humour, a voice for me and guidance for my husband. I felt like I still had my dignity during the unflattering and downright awful parts of labour. She kept on saying I was doing great and she made me feel so comfortable. Janet came for a visit after we were all home and said she was there for us if we needed anything.
Would I recommend Janet? Absolutely yes! If you want someone there for your labour, birth and beyond that is compassionate, knowledgeable & just all around a good person pick Janet Harder as your doula!
