eta: any experieces good or bad are greatly appreciated. we swore we would never deliver there after the stories of od'ing babies and such but that could happen anywhere

Re: stonybrook moms...

I Loved it there!! Nurses both in L&D and on the maternity ward were so great! I loved having my own room, it didnt feel so tight when I had visitors. Also the bathroom is beautiful. I give them and A+ and highly reccomend having your baby. I was very lucky i was litteraly diagnol from the nursery so I would peek at her whenever I wanted

Re: stonybrook moms...

u can see the nursery from ur room???

Re: stonybrook moms...

The nursery was in the middle and all the patient rooms go around in it. I was 10 ft away from the nursery. I also like being able to have the baby with me in the room when my visitors were there so my family was able to hold her.

Re: stonybrook moms...

I delivered both DS's there...in '08 and then this past November.

The labor units haven't changed, but the post partum wing is VERY much improved. Very big private rooms and private bathrooms, large windows --mine overlooked the sound! It was great...

My only complaints were that the noise from one room carried directly into another, meaning I could hear every comment from my neighbor's visiting family during their visiting hours (but then I'm sure my neighbor heard my infant scream as he learned how to nurse ).
Bring socks with grippies/slippers because no matter how many times the custodial staff mopped the floor, it ALWAYS felt sticky/gross...my mom even asked the woman what she was mopping with - poor lady...

I used the midwives, and participated in the baby bonus program. This allowed us to keep DC with us the entire time of our stay -- they even bathed him in my recovery room -- it was great!!
