Anyone delivered/delivering at U of M??

I just had to switch OBs and now I'm delivering at U of M. I don't know anyone who's delivered there, so I'd love any insight!

I delivered at U of M.  I had a good experience.  They followed my birth plan and did everything I wanted.  The lactation consultants are very helpful and so are the nurses.  I'd deliver there again.

Please share with after you have your DS.  I refuse to go back to the hospital I delivered DS at, and will need figure everything out what it is time for #2.

 I also love the name for your DS.  It is the same as my DH's.

Royal Oak Beaumont, I still cry thinking about his birth.  UofM is the next closest hospital with higher level NICU.  DS only needed to go to the NICU for a very short period time, but it was nice to know he was in the same hospital as me.

I have heard nothing but good things about U-M. In case you get a backup, Tracy Anderson (Nurse Midwife) is amazing (assuming she's still there).

My sister delivered her daughter at U of M this past March, although as both a mom already and her big sister...I was not fond of the fact that they kept her in bed and on petocine (spelling?) for almost 3 days straight! She ended up needing an emergency c-section due to an infection introduced by nurses checking her constantly! I am planning on delivering there with my daughter, due 12-29-09..but I am skeptical as to the experience...I am much more educated now after her birth experience...I wish you luck and hope we both come out with healthy babies and decent birth experiences!

Hi there!

I delivered my son there 2 years ago, and I plan to have this one there as well.  I ended up having an emergency c-section, and will have another one with this baby.  Overall I had a good experience there~~ really listened to what we wanted to do rather than just tell us what we needed to do. What I liked most about it was that it was state of the art, and had all the best resources.
