[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a great experience with GW (midwife, not OB so don't have a recommendation for you).  The L&D nurses, post-partum nurses, and newborn nurses were great.  It was very easy to have the baby stay with me the whole time--they didn't fuss about how I wanted to breastfeed and hang out with him instead of whisking him off to the nursery for standard procedures right away.  I hung out in the L&D room with the baby for a while, and eventually they wheeled me into the postpartum room and helped me into the bed.   The husband/partner fold-out couches were ok, but a sleeping bag was welcome extra padding on it.  GW has a higher-level NICU than many area hospitals.  [/quote]

Doula here. I agree that GW is great and the midwives there are fantastic, but for the sake of clarity I just wanted to point out that Georgetown actually has a higher level NICU than GW. [b]The only Level 4 NICUs in the area are Georgetown, Children's, and Johns Hopkins[/b].[/quote]

If you are including Johns Hopkins, then you also have to include Inova Fairfax' Level 4 NICU too.[/quote]
