Testimonial for Hannah Hardy
Hannah is an amazing human being! Just the first five minutes of talking to her during our consultation, I knew she was the right fit as our doula. Hannah was easy to talk to and immediately understood our needs to have the birth that we envisioned. This was our second time with a doula and even so, felt like I had to refresh on some information and learn a few new things. My second pregnancy was a challenging one. I was diagnosed with everything in the book that was making me lose hope for another unmedicated birth as I hoped. Hannah checked in with so often and kept my mind calm especially in the last few weeks leading up to our labor. My feelings were always met with validation and no judgment from her. She always had the appropriate information to give me all the pros, cons, and scenarios that we can expect with different options.
When the day finally came, Hannah took an early morning call from my husband and she was with us every step of the way. She reassured my husband that I was doing ok and we were able to stay home to labor for as long as we could despite all the odds that we faced. Everything happened so quickly and we had to meet Hannah at the hospital where she was denied access into the delivery room (what?!). She advocated the best she could, but before we knew it the baby arrived quickly, smoothly, and unmedicated upon arrival (within 20 mins).
Despite the situation with the labor & delivery team at the hospital (disappointing!), Hannah was the one who got us through it all and the birth of our son was everything we had hoped. Truly grateful for her and her continued support even through postpartum.
