[quote=Anonymous]To the person who said they would rather die than go to an Inova hospital…why? Curious.

I haven’t seen anyone do a GW list so here goes. I delivered my first at GW during the height of COVID and second at VHC. Much preferred VHC.

PROS
-l&d rooms are truly massive, felt clean
-l&d nurses are wonderful, doing the lords work. 
-all of the doctors at MFA (in 2020) were nice 
-supportive of low intervention births if that is your thing. 
-very supportive of doulas being present 
-blueberry muffins are legit good (other food was very meh)
-there are several wonderful postpartum nurses. Amazing.

CONS
-I had serious complications here that were a direct result of many doctors not taking my concerns seriously 
-the residents here leave a lot to be desired and they generally are the ones with you until the last second for vaginal births. 
-you see a zillion different doctors and there wasn’t great continuity of care - I found myself explaining the same things over and over 
-postpartum rooms are TEENY and hell on earth. Truly no room. 
-no one ever answers the phone or returns calls even from the emergency labor and delivery/MFA lines 
-wait times can be insane

Tried to be objective as I had a horrible experience at GW but understand it’s a good hospital for many. [/quote]
