[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the hospitals outsource post-partum care to your partner or a hired doula to some extent - they say it’s to help with breastfeeding or help you learn to care for your baby, but it’s really to save money by hiring less nursing staff. [b]GW, however, does it the worst of all the hospitals. They do have a “nursery” again, but they’re not going to let you use it all night like Inova Fairfax would[/b]. [/quote]

+1000. GW is the worst.  [/quote]

How do they get away with being so awful? [/quote]
Granted, my kids were born 10-3 years ago, but they are (or were) the only game in town for certain things. Evidence based things like VBAC (I’m fat and you’d think I was asking to have the baby electrocuted at the other practices I talked to). So that’s been a few years now, but they do stuff other places don’t.[/quote]

Yes, I think they’re getting by on reputation for a lot of things. But my friend had a successful VBAC at Inova Fairfax and another had a VBAC at VHC. It just depends on your doctor/practice and their risk tolerance and your risk profile. You might also have to sternly request things at some hospitals which are more standard at GW. [/quote]
