Any Chicagoland MoMs?

Just wondering where you delivered or plan on delivering your multiples?  Any recommendations or experiences would be great to hear about. 
I'm nervous about the quality of NICUs and can't seem to find any good info on which ones are the best.

 Thank you!

    I delivered at Women's Prentice Hospital,  but that is downtown Chicago,  may be too far for you?   It was a like a hotel,  but a hospital and the staff was great.   I loved it there and would deliver there again.

    I am going to deliver at Hinsdale Hospital.  I know that Edward in Naperville also has a NICU.  When my cousin's son was delivered at 27 weeks he was at Hinsdale for a while then they eventually transferred him to the NICU at the University of Chicago, where he stayed for a few months until he came home.

    I'm in the suburbs.  I am planning to deliver at Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove, which has a NICU level II, as long as I go beyond 32 weeks.  If I deliver before that, I will be at Central Dupage, since they are a NICU Level III.  My dr. said that as long as I go beyone 31 or 32 weeks, a NICU level II is fine. 

    I know that St. Alexius is upgrading to a level III, but it won't be done in time for my babies.

    I am delivering at Good Shepard in Barrington as long as it is after 32 weeks. Otherwise at Lutheran. What area are you in?

    I delivered at Hinsdale as well, and would highly recommend it. ? ? ?We had an amazing nurse Carolyn who took the best care of us. ? ? My entire experience was great. ? ?Heck, they even bring in Panera every day for the families and mom's! ? ?

    ?

    Good Luck?

    Not sure where you are, but you have some great options in Chicago. Lutheran General and Evanston Hospital are both Level III NICUs with great reputations. Where does your OB/MFM have privileges?

    I will also be delivering at Hinsdale! I LOVE it there! My sister, cousin and 2 friends have all delivered there. My friend had her baby last week and told me that they just started doing massages! I had no idea about Panera.....total plus!!! Good luck to you.....OH and they are remodeling the nursery....it will be done in April.
