Best hospitals / where to deliver in South Austin.

KDatx

I'm 7w 3D and I know it is early but I'm a planner. I am looking for recommendations on where the best place to deliver might be in south Austin? I'm about a mile away from Saint David's South Austin on Ben White.

Hi!  It might be a little out of your way but I'm delivering in May at Lakeway Regional.  We live near the Y split in Oak Hill.  My obgyn office only delivers there and Seton SW.  Lakeway's pretty new and have all kinds of great on-site support available for any kind of emergency and immediate post-birth assistance.

I'm in south Austin but delivering at St. David's Women's Center. It's a great facility. I've been with my OB there since I moved to Austin and have had nothing but positive experiences so far.

I delivered at Lakeway Regional in August and had a great experience. The rooms were really nice and they dont have a nursery there so everything is done in your room, delivery, measurements and all care. We toured the L&D before and that made a huge difference for us so maybe you could try that at the different hospital and find what is comfortable for you.

Seton off 38th. Alternativelt, Brackenridge is a level one trauma center, meaning they can handle whatever comes through the door! Obviously I hope you have a very easy pregnancy and delivery, just giving info. You can look up the different hospitals to see what level they are all rated too. Hope that helps.

Skip St. David's South. St Davids Main (32nd street at I-35) or St David's North Austin Medical Center are consistently recognized to be the best hospitals to give birth. Bonus, unlike Seton, they are NOT catholic so you can get your tubes tied or a D&C if you need it.

I haven't heard great things about St David's. However when I was having some pregnancy issues early on I went to Seton SW and they were wonderful!! The nurses there are incredibly attentive and kind and caring. If their L&D dept is anything like their ER, I would definitely recommend them. Unfortunately my doctor only delivers at Seton Main so that's where I'll be going.
