Thumbs up for Fairview Southdale

I haven't had the babe yet but I spent the morning in labor and delivery getting testing done and the nurses there were great!

I wasn't excited about spending time at the hospital but I am excited to know that the nurses are so great there!

    I am so glad to hear you had a good time. Both My Son & I were born there :) I can't say anyting for how my "first" stay was but my last stay was great and I felt very cared for.

    Not sure how the delivery units are and it concerns me as Fairview may have to be one of my options too if I go into labor while at work.  It terrifies me!  I am a social worker and have watched the lack of care and bad medical decisions for my clients.  It scares me!  Thus, I am curious to hear others stories.  Suggestions, opinions, thoughts and so on.  As of now I am thinking the longer drive to Abbott may be worth it.

    I had wonderful care during the delivery of my son at FV Southdale.  My L&D nurse was awesome.  She was so supportive/helpful during my entire labor.  Once I delivered, the nursing staff was very supportive in my attempts to breastfeed.  One of my nurses sat with me for a good 20 minutes offering different techniques, until I finally got LO to latch.  It's because of her, I was able to successfully breastfeed.  I would highly recommend delivering there.

    We are going to tour eventually.  How were the rooms, and staff as a whole?  I was so pleased to read the other post on breast feeding assistance as this is a concern for us as well.  I am sure I will have more questions once I read a bit more.  Do they have birthing tubs at the hospital?  Water seems to be my only relaxer.
