West Penn Hospital - Pittsburgh

Has anyone delivered at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA? I am from a small town in Texas, so a big city hospital scares me. I may sound stupid but my biggest fear is not having a private room... Anyone have any experiences to share?

    Hi there!

    I'm also delivering at west penn hospital.  I've never been.  this will be my first baby.  I've heard nothing but great things about the hospital and other's experiences there.  I have a friend of a friend who is due next week and I was hoping to get a feel for what she thought after she delivers!  Welcome to Pittsburgh!  I'm due 10/27.  when are you due?

    I would imagine we'd have a private room for sure. 
  • We have 5 of us pregnant at work right now and 4 are delivering at west penn! I have done some adoption work there and between that and my coworkers it is an amazing hospital! My husband boss just delivered a premi there and they did excellent with her! The rooms are private too which is nice :)
  • I had to go last week for my consult with the maternal fetal medicine doctors and I had never been to a hospital where you had to park in a parking garage! I guess I'm just a small town girl stuck in the big city! Everyone I have met there seems so nice, I guess I am just nervous about delivering at a hospital I'm not familiar with. I found on their website that you can do a labor and delivery tour so I will definitely be signing up for that!!
  • I am delivering at west penn. They are wonderful!! My SIL had her children there and she loved it. I needed to go to the ER for dehydration and the staff treated me kindly and didn't make me feel crazy for being worried about the baby.
