Hospitals???

I just moved to the Tucson area in Feb. and have heard a mix of "go to TMC" and a mix of "go to St. Joe's" for delivery. I was wondering if anyone on here could help with some insight about those 2 hospitals.

Honestly my dear, if those are the hospitals on your side of town I would prob do TMC. If you are pretty open on locations I would go to Northwest Medical Center. They have an amazing Womens Center! I have had SEVERAL friends that have given birth there and they love it, the nurse staff is amazing. That is where I'm going to go!

We already live south of those and it takes about 30 minutes to get there so I dont want to have to drive that much further. But Thank You! I've been leaning towards TMC for a couple different reasons I was just trying to get some opinions!

I live minutes away from NW Hospital but will deliver at TMC. I know TMC has a good NICU- hopefully we wont need it. I trust them and know that they have advanced equipment for babies if they should need it. I would say to tour the hospitals. Also- welcome to Tucson!

I can give a St. Joe's perspective! 

I delivered at St. Joes.  I also was there when both my nieces were born at St. Joes.  As far as giving birth there, I have only good things to say.  My nurses were awesome,  They took great care of me, baby and my husband. 

My oldest niece had to spend time in their NICU - they were wonderful to all of us during that time.

The down side - the couch for the husband is very uncomfortable to sleep on - but at least there is a couch!

The one thing I was not all that impressed with were the birthing classes.  I don't really feel like I learned anything new that I didn't already read about.

I loved St. Joes and I am delivering there again.  I have been admitted to the hospital a couple times and everyone is so nice.  The new L&D building was built about a year ago.  Everything is nice and new.
