Which is preferred?

Thanks

I'm making the same decision. based on my birth plan (a more natural approach) boca regional seems to be the better fit so far

Thank you. I was thinking the same, but am concerned that Boca West has a higher rated NICU.

I chose Boca Regional. Go do a tour at both. I only did one at Regional but felt very comfortable with them and how they run everything. You get a private room for labor and delivery but you do get moved to a post-partum room afterward &, unfortunately, you share a bathroom with one other room. But regardless, everything else was right in line with how I'd like my birth to go - they are very breastfeeding oriented and have tons of help from lactation nurses, skin-to-skin right after birth, no Hep B vaccine for baby, baby cosleeps in the room with you. You can also request birthing balls and water tubs ahead of time of you want to use them.

Per my ob Boca regional has a level 2 nicu which is equipped for most issues. The only reason you would really need a level 3 nicu like at boca west is if the baby comes super early.
