Tell me about Woodwinds

Hey all I have recently switched providers and will now be seeing nurse midwives through Health East and will deliver at Woodwinds. I am very excited because I have heard wonderful things. Wondering if anyone took advantage of the doula program there as well. Is it true that you could get complementary doula services from a new-ish doula there? Any tips or comments welcome! Thanks.

    I didn't use the doulas there, but I delivered both of my children there. I loved it and had a great experience. I don't have one bad thing to say about them. The same nurse happened to deliver both my kids! Rooms are quiet and spacious, food is delicious! I had a great experience!

    I'm a FTM and have not delivered there yet but I can not say enough good things about them. I love it there. You can use their Doula Program free of charge if one is available as well as their 'natural' services such as massage. I hope you have a great experience.

    Both of my deliveries were at Woodwinds with the Health East midwives. I can not say enough good things. The midwives have earned a special place in my heart forever - some of the most amazing women that I have ever met.

     

    The nurses at Woodwinds were great and I received great care during both of my deliveries.

    I forgot to answer your other question. With my DS's delivery, they called in a doula for me, and she too was amazing. And yes, she was free.

    The massages are not free, there is a charge for that. There is healing touch acupuncture and aroma therapy that is free. At least according to the tour guide we had just recently as I hope/plan to deliver there.

    If you deliver at Woodwinds they do offer complimentary doula services.  When you arrive at the hospital you just let them know that you are interested in having a doula and they will see if any of them are available.  I requested one but my labor was so fast by the time the doula arrived I had already given birth.  I did receive complimentary postpartum acupuncture that was supposed to help me relax and help my milk come in.  

    I loved my experience at Woodwinds.  I also used the Healtheast Midwives and have only good things to say about them.  They were great advocates for me during my delivery.

    Love Woodwinds! LOVE. I had two planned c sections there, and everyone I came in contact with was super nice and caring, and the food is actually pretty good there, big rooms, etc. My other experience is from United Hospital and it sucked!
