[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If everything has been low risk so far, I would switch to a practice that delivers at Sibley. You almost certainly won't need the NICU and the hospital is much nicer and more peaceful.[/quote]

There is usually a warning sign baby might need a NICU. Going from perfectly healthy to NICU is relatively rare.

Now somebody is going to post their horror story... [/quote]

This just isn't true. While prematurity is the most common reason a baby will go to the NICU, there are other reasons from relatively minor to very serious. Please don't give people false assurance. [/quote]

What hogwash is this. Sibley had a level 2 special care nursery and the neonatologists who work in it also work at the level 4 NICU at Georgetown. It is a rare instance that a baby has to be transferred to a hospital with a higher level NICU. Stop promoting unfounded fears. Also, higher level NICU doesn’t mean better quality care. In fact it often means a teaching hospital and that can mean all sorts of downsides. [/quote]
