I just wanted to see who out there delivered at Rex and how was your delivery experience? Did you take any classes through the hospital? I'm currently with Wilkerson OB/GYN and would deliver at Rex. I'm big time planner and can't help thinking about these things even though it is so early! Thanks!
Re: Raleigh Area Moms - Did you Deliver at Rex Hospital? Like It?
I delivered both times at Rex, and had great experiences. The first time, they hadn't finished their renovations, and I still didn't feel cramped or anything in our room. Now, though, the rooms are huge!
The nursing staff is excellent, visitation is easy as long as everyone follows the rules, and the food is very good - plus, you get to order from a menu, which is nice! You can get vouchers for your spouse or other family to eat with you. You just call and order like room service.
Good luck, and H&H 9 months!

I also delivered at Rex, and had a great experience. The nurses were all great, the room service food is very good for a hospital, and the rooms were very nice. I did take their child birth class, but you need to sign up early to get in - like, in your 1st trimester.
GL! And H&H 9 months to you!
I also had a great experience at Rex. The nurses were super nice, the food was good, etc. My room was pretty small, but most of them are larger now, as they were renovating the entire wing.
I also took the breastfeeding and childbirth class. I liked them both. The childbirth class has options to take it spread out over several days, or one all day class. We did the all day class. It made for a long day, but it worked out better for us.
Delivered DS there, had a great experience - plan on delivering #2 there as well. Food was great - I had a made-to-order omelet every morning for breakfast!

In June I discovered my baby girl no longer had a heart beat and delivered her at rex. All the nurses there were amazing except for one but I told another nurse that she made me uncomfortable and she set it up so I would have a different one the next day. When I told her about what happend she was shocked that the other nurse was so insensitive. They were so incredibly sweet and came in and sat on my bed or next to it and talked to me when I needed it. I was very impressed. I felt like that really truely cared. Unfortunately we did not get to go to any of the classes we scheduled.
