Where is the best place to have your baby?

Ken&Anna

In New Orleans itself, Touro is the only option. If you're willing to go outside of New Orleans, Ochsner or East Jefferson are also well known for L&D.

I live on the Westbank and had my baby last week at West Jefferson. I was happy with my choice.

Im having my first preganacy and twin girls , i worked at East Jefferson but a few of my friends who are nurses had there babies at Touro, they said they liked there doctors but i would have to say i love my ob/gyn Dr. Baur she is the best and very attentive, also she just had a baby of her own so she knows exactly what ur feeling and going thru, i also see a hig risk specialist and they work together so well in dealing with all the difficulties involved including catching a serious rip in my cervix very early and had me stitched up right away. I wish u luck on your search and ur preganacy and hope that my experiance is helpful.

I am having my baby at Touro! They are amazing. I have a wonderful OB, named Dr. Janet Ross. She see's you from beginning and through delivery.It has truly been amazing using them.

Well I've delivered twice at Touro, the first time (2/5/09) the experience was great! Which is why the 2nd time around I decided to return to Touro. BUT my second experience (1/26/12) was a hot mess! I got to the hospital late, within 20min of delivery. I never made it into a birthing room and after I delivered naturally I might add lol I was kinda forgoten about. lets just say they left me w/my baby...in an air conditioned room mind you, I wound up falling asleep, from sheer exaustion & his temp dropped so low it took about 6-8hrs to bring him to my room. I had family waiting to see him & every time I asked, they said oh, he's in the nursery getting his bath, next it was oh, he's still under the warmer.

My husband did go in the nursery b/c I was like, it's not suppose to take this long go see what's up.THEN they explained to me, he was staying in the nursery so long b/c of his temp. I started thinking if yall had taken him immediatly after delivery, like they normally do, wash them, clean him, weight him, & put him under the warmer then his temp would be normal!!! That was just the beginning, and it was all down hill from there. I had a friend deliver like 5mo after me & she delivered at Oshner & absolutely loved it! If your doc delivers there, that would be my suggestion...Touro has gone down a bit in the service dept.
