St. Joseph's in Tacoma

2moms1love

Hello all!  My wife will be delivering at St. Joseph's in Tacoma this May.  We took the tour last weekend and it was very hot in the building  -- many people on the tour were making comments about this.  Anyone out there have experiences birthing at St. Joe's?  Was the temperature comfortable?  Any other comments?  Thanks!!

I had an awesome experience at St Joes. They have thermostats in the birthing rooms that you can adjust yourself. I don't remember it being too hot.

Thank you for clearing that up - we were worried about it being uncomfortable.

This. I delivered dd there and will deliver this baby there and don't remember being hot at all. I really loved my experience there.

I delivered both my kids there. I believe they keep it warmer up on the mother baby unit because its harder at the newborn stage to regulate temperature. You do have a thermostat in your room and can always ask the nurse to help I loved it there and plan to go back for my third (when that time comes)

I delivered my son at St. Josephs in 2010 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I was 19 and a bit nervous but the facility and my nurses/midwife made the labor and delivery very pleasant. I especially enjoyed the bathtub and long halls to walk in and progress labor.

I just delivered there in November and loved my experience there! Rooms were comfortale, staff were friendly, and the staff made me be okay with the fact that I needed an epidural. If I do a hospital delivery again, I will definitely go to saint Jo's again

My mom delivered all my sibilings there way back in the 80s and loved it

I delivered my son there and he ended up in the nicu for a week. The nurses were awesome and the stay was comfortable!
