Overlook hospital?

kategw · October 2009

Anyone deliver there? Plan on delivering there? What are your thoughts on it?

My doctor is also out of overlook, but he is also associated with St. Barnabas Hospital. My mother has worked for both hospitals and she has convinced me to go to St. Barnabas, but because the Maternity ward was updated and is a lot nicer. Also, my doctor said st. Barnabas has a great pediatrics section in there hospital in case something is wrong with the baby etc. Even though it's a bit further away, they have convinced me to do so because if somethign is wrong with the baby they will transfer them to st. Barnabas. That's our plan. Overlook isnt a bad hospital though..

I delivered there- and I work there (not on the maternity unit though). I had a fantastic experience, the nurses are great, and the lactation consultants are really helpful. They also have a massage therapist who gives you a 30 minute massage before you go home. Who is gonna turn that down haha!
