[quote=Anonymous]I was admitted to Virginia Hospital Center at 24 weeks with my dc, where my then ob delivered. I flat out asked her that if she thought there was any chance I could have my baby at that time, shouldn't I be at Georgetown? She said yes, made some calls and I was on my way w/in the hour. That to me says a lot, and thankfully my ob put me and my babies care before her ego.

I did not deliver until 34 weeks, but did need the GTown NICU. They are excellent and I will definitely deliver there next time just to be safe. The hospital approach dealing with my preterm labor was also a 180 from Arlington. Arlington gave me a million drugs, and told me that I would likely be in the hospital, laying in an inverted position, until I delivered. Gtown said my drug cocktail could have caused my lungs to fill with fluid, switched everything up, said to stay off my feet and sent me home in a week for bed rest and weekly appointments. I felt totally comfortable with this, but it is just still so amazing to me how different these hospitals were.

I'm sure you will be fine, but a definite thumbs up for the Georgetown NICU and prenatal care.[/quote]
