Emerson Hospital?

Hi ladies!

I'm new to this board - hubby and I found out on New Year's Eve that we're expecting our first, after 8 months of trying. I'm due 9/10/10!

I'm leaning towards giving birth at Emerson and I wondered if anyone has any strong feelings towards or against Emerson? I specifically like their new birthing center, and that they have a certified nirse midwife on staff.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance  Big Smile

    Congratulations!

    I have heard great things about Emerson.  My OB is afflicated with Emerson and I have no worries when it comes to L&D. 

    I had a D&C at Emerson in September and everyone was so supportive and I felt well taken care of.

    Congratulations!

    Emerson has my been family's hospital of choice my entire life. They are often referred to as the country club of hospitals in the area. I haven't given birth there yet of course haha, but I have heard only good things about their new birthing center.

    Congratulations!  I am not pregnant yet, but I chose a OBGYN affiliated with Emerson after touring the hospital two years ago.  My best friend just delivered there in October, and I was there for the birth.  The hospital was AMAZING!  I absolutely thought the nurses and staff there were just so great.  She also took a few classes through them and she thought they were just great.

    I gave birth there back in October. I actually had switched doctor's at the end of August, because I heard great things about Emerson. (I was new to the area when we found out we were expecting and just went with the first doctor/hospital on the insurance list). The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was great. I was very happy with my experience. They are very supportive with breastfeeding and anything I needed.

    I gave birth at Emerson 18 months ago today! I loved the nurses and all of the care I received while I was there. If there's a baby #2, I will go back to Dr Sinopoli and Dr Hale at Emerson.

    I'm due in early May and will deliver at Emerson. Ive had a bunch of appointments with Sherri, the midwife on staff and she is great! They offer classes with a tour of the birthing center there. I see Dr. Balcomb there and have had a wonderful experience so far.

    This will be my second birth at Emerson and had a great experience with the first. Sherry the midwife is wonderful and I hope that she is there when I go into labor in early May!! I also see Dr. Balcomb and love her as well.

    I delivered there 19 months ago and only have good things to say. i had a very complicated delivery and was very impressed by how it was handled. Honestly, I work with UMASS and would say Emerson puts them to shame. It has a nice small hospital atmosphere.

    I'm also delivering at Emerson in July! It's lovely. Everyone is so nice, and the birthing center is also brand-new.

    Congrats! I delivered at Emerson in August, and loved it.  State-of-the-art facilities, great doctors, great L&D nurses. The only drawback was that the lactation consultant was really overbooked for the amount of new breastfeeding moms, so I didn't get as much time with her as I would have liked.  When I was able to see her, she was very helpful, however.  (for me it just took a lot of help to learn how to BF my daughter.)  But everything else about the hospital was great.
