[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't have my baby at either of those hospitals, but I did have an emergency C-section at a teaching hospital done by a resident.  It healed beautifully. My understanding is that they aren't allowed to actually do procedures on patients until they've proven that they can do them well. There was also an attending in the room the whole time supervising and prepared to take over should the need arise.

Delivering at a high-risk hospital means everyone is prepared for emergencies, not just the doctors -- all the staff has a lot of experience making sure all the moving parts fit together smoothly. That was a big pro to me.[/quote]

I can't speak for either hospital, but I agree with PPs last point.  I am a medical professional and my role at several hospitals has been part of a team that responds to emergencies.  I tell all my friends to deliver at hospitals that deal with high risk pregnancies or have high level NICUs if they are able to.   Those that work there respond better to worst case scenarios.
