Deliver at St. Marys hospital?

Stepheejoan · 10-25-2009, 05:45 PM

I'm just recently making a move from philadelphia to St. Marys county. The hospitals here are excellent I had my first child here and have no complaints about my experience. I'm now 5 months pregnant and it looks as though St. Marys is the closest hospital. I have heard HORRIBLE things about them just one horror story after another but none about labor & delivery. I wanted to know if anyone delivered there or has another hospital to recommend because I will definetly make the drive if St. Marys is really that horrible.
Thanks.

I had all three of my kids there and had a great experience. The staff was great! My 3rd was just born in June so I've got recent experience.

There are always horror stories about the local hospital. Everyone I know that has had their child there has had a wonderful experience even a couple of very ummm..."particular" (read: picky) moms. I worked there for a long time and the girls up there are phenomenal..they strive to make the whole unit incredibly safe..and comfortable for the new mommies...

I have had numerous bad experiences with SMH Emergency department so I was somewhat concerned about delivering my baby there, but I have to admit it was a wonderful experience. I had a nurse with me through the entire labor and delivery. She even stayed late past her shift time to be there when she was born. Everything was perfect.

Welcome here, I am also from the greater Philly area.

L&D is pretty cut and dry. I delivered at Cooper in Camden with my first and while that was a nightmare I don't anticipate any problems here at St. Mary's (I'm due in 2 weeks) especially with my OB group that I chose.

Good luck and good health during your pregnancy and delivery.
