Testimonial for Janet Harder
There is no true way to describe the gratefulness my partner and I have for this woman. Janet was amazing right from the start. There was no awkward getting to know each other vibe, she made me feel at home - in my OWN home. I had searched aound desperately for some guidance and support to birth my second son. I was nervous and didnt want to feel pressured or taken advantage of by the labour ward staff, like I felt happened with my first born. I had a C-Section and desperately tried for a Vbac and Janet was completely on board. Without Janet I dont know how we would have navigated our journey. She was so polite and passionate and took charge while in the waiting room and the delivery room. Also, if it hadn't been for Janets great relationship with the staff at our hospital I feel like things could have taken a different path. She helped me get alllll the way through to 9cm dialated until the docs suggested a C-Section due to the babys heart rate and position etc. The nurse that was there understood every command I had told Janet to enforce from my birthing plan. I ended up still needing a somewhat emergency C-section but Janet made sure everyone knew that I was not going down without a great fight! I was starving, shaking and crying during the last minutes until I entered the OR and she stuck by my partner and I. Once the baby was born she quietly left the hospital and said she'd love to see the baby and I after a day or so of rest. She was the mom I needed during the entire experience seeing as mine passed away, she understood this and delivered immensley with the wisdom and guidance a fellow mom has to offer. She gave warm hugs and unconditional support. I'd do it all again with her when the time comes to have baby number three!
