Testimonial for Martha Girard
Because of Martha's amazing support, I was able to have a successful VBAC in November of 2019. After having an unplanned c-section and labor/delivery that did not go the way I imagined it to at all, I knew I needed to find special support to have a sucessful VBAC. The second I met Martha, I knew I needed to have her on my team. My husband wasn't on board at first, but looking back he is super happy we had Martha.
Martha was very communicative and I loved having her available/on-call during my final weeks leading up to my labor. She offfered amazing support and reassurance during our prenatal visits. My early home labor began to really pick up around midnight and by 5am, Martha was at our house, offering her support and comforting me. She was there with me every step of my long labor. Throughout the entire labor, she was literally always right next to me and watching me. If I needed space, she gave me space. She knew exactly how to move with my body as I stood and swayed side to side. She took on all of my weight and digging fingers without any hesitation. I ended up getting an epidural after 16 hours of labor which Martha helped me rock through 100% unmedicated. Within 2 hours of epidural, I was pushing and our second beautiful baby girl was delivered vaginally.
Martha was an advocate for me in the hospital considering I was a "VBAC" patient. She did not treat me like a VBAC patient. She helped me draft my very straight forward birth plan and offered resources and guidance to help me mentally prepare myself for an all natural labor. It's really an unexplainable experience and one everyone must partake. The support Martha offered is unlike any family member. We are glad we invested and would recommend Martha 1000000%.
