[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, I have heard about GW being overcrowded and women being stuck in triage during most of labor.

I heard this five years ago, where one friend was actually sent away and had to deliver elsewhere!

I also heard the same from a friend who delivered there a few weeks ago, so,[b] it seems the problem isn't gone[/b]. It's making me consider switching, although I have few options, mainly WHC which is fine but I don't really want to go there again, or rather I don't know what OB I would use; I was with their midwives previously who I liked but I had a bad experience with them during my miscarriage.

Have you also recently had problems at GW? Firsthand accounts preferred.[/quote]

I get the impression that a lot of women on this board don't realize there is no labor and delivery ward in DC EOTR.  Not one.  Every pregnant woman has to be transferred after 20 weeks, and GWU is metro accessible.  Covid nurse shortages might figure in at the margins, but overcrowding at GWU should be expected.[/quote]
