I delivered at 4 different hospitals in VA and DC. Three had all private rooms, and the one that didn’t had enough rooms that most patients still had the room to themselves (and they have since renovated to all private rooms).

This would have absolutely tormented me and made my post partum hospital stay even worse if that’s possible. Cruel to new mothers but what else is new.

For a certain slice of the DMV population, it isn’t common. For the rest of the DMV and the world, it is.

I never did for my two kids, but wouldn't really have minded, to be honest. Takoma Park Adventist, and Shady Grove hospitals in MoCo.

Depends on the hospital. At some a shared room is standard and you need to pay for a private room (if one is available).

Some hospitals have only private rooms.

What hospital?

I don't think there were any shared rooms at WHC but I could be wrong.

In Europe it is very common to share a maternity room, and single rooms cost extra.

You need to inquire and pay for that unless the place is all singles.

Depends on the hospital. I had a private room each time. Are you local? Where are you looking to deliver?
