Not a good place to have a baby if you want any type of natural birth. Went in in labor, they admitted me and then said they wanted to induce me, when I said no they kept me in triage for almost 10 hours, then discharged me at 5cm to labor at a hotel (we had traveled from out of town due to having a high risk pregnancy). When we came back about 12 hours later I agreed to let them break my water but would not let me do any of my pain management techniques I had prepared for other than sitting on a ball because they were unable to read the heartbeat. When shift change came the heartbeat was suddenly not an issue. The dr that delivered was incredibly rude and even argumentative during delivery. The nurse kept apologizing for the doctor and filed a formal grievance against the doctor. Weeks later we received a letter about the grievance saying it was our fault, that labor was often too stressful for us to understand, then why did your nurse start the grievance process? In recovery we had about 20 different people coming in to draw blood and perform tests on baby, we wanted to do all needed testing, but the people couldn t even tell us what tests had been ordered or what they were drawing blood for, when I asked for a print out of what had been ordered they said they couldn t print me anything. I will never have another baby here.
