Testimonial for Cara Crowe

This is a very belated but much deserved testimonial! (2.5 years late)

Cara provided great support during my pregnancy. She responded to e-mails promptly and called me often when I turned full term. She tailored our meetings to our desires, helping with my birth plan via e-mail and practicing coping techniques in person at our request since I could not take a birth class.

Cara drove two hours to be with me during labor. She made the ultimately correct call one night that I would not have the baby that night and that she should go home and we should sleep. She came to be with me again the next day when she could hear over the phone that I was in active labor. She chose a good time to suggest we move to the hospital. When I decided to go against my birth plan and get an epidural, she gently reminded me of my plan and that epidural could slow labor. She helped me not feel like a failure for changing my plans. When it came time to push, she helped me to decide if I wanted the epidural decreased, which my midwife had not even brought up as an option. In that way, she was an essential advocate for me.

I appreciated Cara's postpartum visit in which she brought delicious food, helped me with breastfeeding and calming our baby, and filled in the gaps of the birth timeline. We borrowed great literature from her extensive lending library and she came with remedies, birth balls, and other gear during birth. She provided physical support and positioning suggestions. I recommend Cara without reservation.
