I delivered my son here in October of 2017. I was very excited to deliver here because I was under the impression this was the best hospital to deliver at. That wasn t the case for my family and I.

I was induced and the admitting nurses on the labor and delivery floor were good. They were sweet and had very thorough communication. I ended up needing a c-section because of the size of my baby, non-emergency. My anesthesiologist was great! Steve was his name I believe. He was so, so friendly. The assisting surgeon and nurses in the OR were amazing! They let my mother come in the room, along with my husband, to see the birth of her first grandchild. They even took pictures for us, it was great.

My terrible time with this hospital begins in recovery. For whatever reason, the questions you answer on patient history after being admitted, do you drink? Smoke? Drugs? Etc, were put into the system INCORRECTLY.

My file reflected that I drank daily throughout my pregnancy and smoked marijuana. WRONG and WRONG. I had an incredibly healthy pregnancy, zero complications! And birthed a 10lb 1oz, 22inch healthy, beautiful baby.

This led to my recovery nurses to be incredibly cold to me when we first went upstairs! It was late at night, and they came in the room saying they were taking a stool sample from my son. Did not explain why, did not give us a chance to ask anything. They immediately went over to my son, unswaddled him, and took his diaper away. They were so incredibly rude, I felt like I had done something wrong. Not a good feeling for a first time mom, a few hours after delivery! Being first time parents, neither my husband nor myself had enough courage to stand up to the nurses and ask what they were doing, we just figured it was normal protocol.

It was not until the next day that I found out about the incorrect information on my file, when a different nurse brought it up. I told her none of it was true. She said she would fix it. It was never fixed the entire time we were there!

As far as the recovery nurses go, there was maybe 1 nurse in my four days that we liked. This is supposed to be the best hospital for moms wanting to breastfeed: that was not my experience. I received mixed information from each nurse about the best positions to hold my son, how best to get him to latch, etc. One nurse brought me a breast shield to feed my son with-THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. He was not able to latch naturally from the moment I did this.

After talking to the lactation consultant she told me that was absolutely not necessary. IF YOU WISH TO BREASTFEED-LISTEN TO THE LACTATION CONSULTANT, NOT THE NURSES.

MY WISH TO BREASTFEED WAS DESTROYED BY THIS HOSPITAL.

I was crying to get out of this place. I wanted to leave so bad. Pain management here was terrible, bedside manner was horrible, I wanted to take my family home! I wish I would have discussed my experience at that time with the director of the hospital, my only focus at that time was getting my family home.

I will not be delivering at this hospital in the future.
