Testimonial for Deborah Badran, CD(DONA)
Terrible experience.
Suspicious from the outset, a spotted corporate background prior, and never having personally experienced childbirth made me cautious, but was persuaded to proceed and eventually agree to her terms of a full payment up front (2000 USD). In hindsight a ridiculous thing to do, but being pregnant with your first child makes you less coherent.
We underwent an unprecedented, emergency C-section at 5weeks premature, not having had any use for her services, whatsoever. We then underwent 2 weeks of emergency surgeries for a heart abnormality - a very intensive period.
Nonetheless, having participated in no way shape or form in our birth we politely requested our money back, after an acute shift in persona we have since spent the last 11months chasing her, almost a full calendar year, awaiting any sort of reimbursement - only to just receive 50% and a not implying that we need to pursue legal action for the remainder.
