[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP. But of course scenario planned for risks during pregnancy.

I did not know WHC was as well regarded as it is being discussed in here.

I thought if I were in OPs hypothetical that Georgetown was the answer, but it seems like WHC might be better.

FWIW I live closer to WHC than GTown.

I would hate to be separated from baby right after birth though, can someone go directly to Children's?[/quote]

I don't think you can deliver at Children's. I mean I'm sure if you showed up pushing someone would catch the baby 😂 but I don't think they'd admit an adult once the dust had settled. WHC has a level 3b NICU so they probably wouldn't need to transfer a micropreemie without medical complexity. I don't think Georgetown would be a bad choice though. Their NICU is a level 4 which is the same as Children's and they're a very good hospital. I'm much closer to WHC with a history of precipitous labor and fast recoveries, so for me I'd risk being temporarily separated to make sure I had the baby in the hospital and not in the car! But I think it would be perfectly reasonable to ask your OB or call WHC NICU and ask what they would transfer to Children's for.[/quote]
