Re: Reston Hospital
I don't know from personal expeirence, but 2 neighbors delivered there and loved it. ( I delivered at Fair Oaks)
Welcome to the board!
What is THIS?? I had no idea!
I delivered my first there and had a good experience. My 2nd was at Loudoun, but that was because I switched doctor's offices and my new practice delivered there, not because of a problem at Reston. I will say that if you want to breastfeed you may have to be very specific about that. I'm sure it depends on the nurse, but we repeatedly said that we didn't want DD to have a pacifier or formula and EVERY time she came back to us after having exams or tests she had a pacifier in her mouth. The rooms and facilities there are really nice!
Loved Reston. The staff was great and the massage was awesome! Also, we took our birthing class there with Peggy. It is 2 half days in one weekend. The class was excellent! My OB recommend it and even told us she can always tell the dads that have taken the class because they are so prepared in Labor and Delivery. Either your OB will have the registration info or call over to reston.

We also did the two-day weekend birthing class at Reston, I think Michelle was the nurse that did ours. Loved her, she was funny and helpful and definately put us at ease.
I had good l&d nurses while I was admited for my induction (and eventual c-section), my daytime nurse was kinda eh - not the most helpful - but our evening nurse was AWESOME and thats when all the action happened anyway!
Free wifi was a plus, definately helped to keep me entertained.
All of my postpartum nurses were great! It was so nice to have a private room, not that it was very big but it was very nice that it was just us in there. Food was pretty good, and they gave DS at least 1 free meal maybe 2. Oh and definately ask the pp nurse to see if she can get you some orange italian ice they were super yummy!
While I did not deliver there (my OB goes to Sibley and G-Town) I am a little partial because my sister is a L&D nurse there:-)
It truly is a nice facility with a really good staff.
Ditto this, I left there feeling very frustrated with their lactation people and ended up getting help with the free drop in at loudoun hospital. LOVE the LC's at loudoun but they are also right across the street from my house so that was easy.
STILL, loved reston and will be happy to deliver my 2nd there.
