[quote=Anonymous]GW is a teaching hospital and pretty hectic in post-partum care (negatives for me). But they have options to deliver with midwives or OBs and an incredible NICU in case you need it (positive). I don't think GW is technically "baby-friendly" (my understanding is those hospitals don't have nurseries at all?) but they lean toward you rooming in. I sent DD to the nursery for 3 hours on night 2. The only consistent complaints I hear from friends in the area are about post-partum care at GW - the baby has a set of doctors/rounds and the mom has a different set and they don't coordinate them at all so it's relentless. The women I know who chose to return to GW for subsequent births were either very committed to the midwife model or had reason to believe they would need the NICU.[/quote]
