[quote=Anonymous]Cara Crowe was cool and all, but I didn’t have a great experience. I feel like the money was not well spent. She didn’t answer emails very promptly and I felt like I was kind of brushed off most of the time. we only met once before birth, so not that helpful. Also, she was AWOL when I went into labor (on my due date) because her phone wasn’t working, and then once I DID reach her, she didn’t make it to the hospital until SEVERAL HOURS LATER, and I had already caved at that point (about 8 cm dilated) and got an epidural. Once she showed up, she just sort of hung out and went and got breakfast etc etc. she also stated in her contract that she would take photos and videos of the birth. She didn’t do any of that. As I was birthing, she grabbed my husbands phone and took a half-assed video, so I GUESS that’s what she considered “taking photos and videos”. Also, before the birth, I had discussed with her that the MOST important thing to me was that I wanted pictures of my husband cutting the cord, and she didn’t get ANY OF THAT. She only recorded that one short video, that DID NOT INCLUDE the one part that I had told her that I wanted. And then she didn’t really offer any help for me after the birth. She claims to be a lactation specialist, and I ended up with engorgement and mastitis right after. I pretty much begged her for help and she didn’t really do anything except tell me not to use a pump and to try to hand express….. Soooooo I would say big thumbs down. Sorry Cara. I only wish I had fought to get some of my money back. [/quote]
