anyone deliver @ Winchester or Emerson Hospital?

I am 33 weeks pregnant, set to deliver at Winchester Hospital. I just took the childbirth class/tour and found out there is a possibility of having a semi private room where you share a bathroom with another family and my husband wouldn't be allowed to stay overnight. This really bothers me, to the point that I want to switch. But I am not sure if Emerson Hospital has the same set up where some of the rooms are semi private? Has anyone delivered at either of these places and have any input? Thanks.

    I'm 23 weeks, and am planning to deliver at Winchester Hospital. Now that you gave me this info, I may be in search for a new hospital/doctor. Although, I have no clue, since we just moved here. hmph.

    All rooms at Emerson are private.  I have not delivered there (I am not even pregnant yet) but changed my OBGYN to Concord OBGYN after touring there.  You can go and tour it, or there is an online tour.

    One of my friends delivered at Emerson and she loved it! She had a scheduled c-section and was very happy with the care. She recommended it so much I've transferred to the same practice (Concord OB/GYN) so when the time comes (I'm not pregnant yet!) I can deliver there also. 

    Emerson Hospital also has a lot of info on the birthing center online as well. Hope that helps! Good luck!

    I delivered at Winchester and my friend delivered at emerson.  Both hospitals have the same set up.  The rooms are private, but if there is a mass baby boom and they have to double you up, there are some rooms for that.  At both, they will try to give you a private room.

    I have heard awesome things about Emerson, and plan to deliver there when the time comes. From what I understand, there are only private rooms. Definitely check out their website.

    I delivered my son at Emerson last year, and I have to agree - it's a great place to deliver.  They just redid their whole maternity ward, and all of the rooms are private.  Many of them also look out on peaceful woods, and the window seat turns into a bed in case your DH will be staying with you.  My DH stayed with me all four nights I was there (I had a c-section), and we both were given 3 free meals/day.  It's a great place.

     That being said, I'm pregnant with my second and considering switching to a doctor at Newton Wellesley.  I'm currently at Concord OBGYN, and I have mixed feelings about them.  I only really trust one of the four doctors, and I don't have a lot of faith in the nurses.  I had a complicated miscarriage before my son and I'm having a complication this time around, and both times the ultrasound tech in the office failed to notice the problem.  Only after I had ultrasounds done at Emerson by the hospital techs did they find what was wrong.  So, even though I love Emerson and would be sad not to deliver there again, I think that trusting my doctor and his/her staff comes first.

    Just my two cents :)
