[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How does everyone on this board know with such clarity that GW is the worst? If personal experience, how many babies are you all having and how many hospitals have you given birth in? [/b]

Genuine question, because no one is ever saying, “I preferred Sibley over GW,” everyone talks about birthing hospitals as if we have all had the opportunity to have sampled each one more than once, like a lunch spot, and cannot BELIEVE that GW brought out food out cold AGAIN.

I had a fine time at GW. Postpartum not nearly as good as L&D but I’ll go back for my next birth because the strength of L&D was well worth it. FWIW  everyone I know in real life who went to GW likes it, much like everyone know in real life feels generally good about any of the hospitals they went to.[/quote]

There are many of us who had our first child at GW and went on to have our second child somewhere else due to the horrendous PP care.  At GW I had nurses calling me names, never had a chance to sleep after surgery (went 3 days without sleep!), was yelled at for not recording the breastfeeding sessions correctly, wasn’t given pain meds on time, etc.

Another factor is that our husbands were expected to care for us during our recovery at GW and there’s no way our husbands can be at home with a toddler and acting as though they work at a hospital st the same time.

The treatment at GW setoff a terrible time for me and there is no way I could do that to myself.  It’s also unsafe since I was left alone for hours without any sleep and on strong pain meds.

That’s great you had a good experience but please understand there are some of us who suffered greatly at GW.  The nurse to patient ratio should prove how little care you’ll receive.  [/quote]
