Testimonial for Cara Crowe
My husband and I cannot imagine labor without Cara's support. We highly recommend Cara as a doula and hope to work with her in our next pregnancy.
Because Cara knows so much about childbirth and has attended so many labors at the hospital where we delivered, she was able to make objective, informed recommendations that were invaluable. Cara also knew us well by the time of the labor and so was able to advocate on our behalf.
Cara helped us navigate a difficult, two-day labor with unplanned interventions, nevertheless resulting in a healthy, vaginal birth (due in large part to her involvement). In brief, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and induced at 37 weeks. What ensued after, including being confined to bed because I was given anti-seizure medication, affected my plans for a "natural birth." Throughout the ups and downs, Cara was incredibly supportive, particularly with helping us (while sleep deprived) to understand our options and to make difficult decisions. As an example, during the pushing phase, our little boy was stargazing and refusing to rotate. Cara spent hours moving me into various positions, ultimately encouraging our boy to rotate on his own, much to the surprise of the hospital staff. If it weren't for Cara, I am fairly certain the birth would have required forceps, if not an emergency c section.
Also, we took birth preparation classes with Cara, who came to our home and worked around our schedule. She is kind, friendly and thoughtful. We genuinely enjoyed our time with her and feel so fortunate to have worked with her.
