HELP! IL Masonic or West Suburban for natural childbirth???
I am looking for input on these 2 hospitals. I have heard good things about West Suburban. However, my own primary care dr whom I love and trust is pregnant and is planning on delivering at IL Masonic. IL Masonic is closer to my house and I could see the midwives for apts at an office 5 minutes away from my work. I don't want to pick IL Masonic simply because it's convienent. Please any input would help!

I second this! My husband works there and it is where I will be delivering for sure!
I just became a Midwife/WHNP and did all of my clinical rotations with the fantastic midwives at Illinois Masonic. I cannot give them enough praise, especially Maja, Lise and Martha. To be honest the nursing staff at Masonic could be a bit more responsive but the care you will recieve from the Midwives during your pregnancy and birth will far outway any negative of the hospital.
If you would consider delivering at Swedish Covenant the physican I work with practices very Midwifery friendly and has a passion for natural childbirth. Her name is Teresa Hubka and we are located at Halsted and Diversey.....
