My Team Green baby came early - delivered at Good Sam
Despite being  , I was 99% certain I was having a girl. I had every sign of a girl, sono techs repeatedly referred to her as she, my ass was huge, I had zits, my face changed, the Chinese calendar said girl, the heart rate was indicative of a girl...so I was shocked when I had another little boy. Travis Thomas showed up 11 days early and he is perfect in every way.
I just wanted to talk about my experience at Good Sam because there was a lot of discussion during the course of my pregnancy. I had a great experience there with DS #1 but there has been a lot of negative chatter since then so I was apprehensive about going there. Labor and delivery was great. My OB is awesome and the staff on L&D were so nice and supportive.
As for the stay itself, I stayed in the new mother child unit. It's really nice. The rooms are like hotel rooms. It's very quiet and serene. The rooms are very comfortable, large and clean. Well worth the $225/night. There is room service to bring you all sorts of food. The food is eh but the dietary staff is super nice.
I am not a breastfeeder. I had been given the heads up on several occasions that I would be "spoken to" about that as hospitals are pro BFing due to JCAHO standards. That never happened. The lactation consultant popped her head in but was respectful of my decision. The same for all of the nurses. Not one of them hassled me about it. My nurses were all very nice and caring. They responded to the call bell immediately. I will say that the supplies were not as readily available as they were last time and formula is kept pretty tight. The aides were really nice and helpful as well.
Also, I asked to send my son to the nursery on the 5th floor so I could rest. Again, not an issue. The first RN mentioned that they promote rooming in but if I felt I needed to rest, they would accommodate me. They did and it was a non-issue. I have nothing but positive things to say about my stay there, which, for me, is huge because I love to complain. I had heard that the nurses were mean and unsupportive but I had the absolute opposite experience. They were all great with me and my son. If you are delivering there, feel confident that you will get great care.

I'm so glad you had a good experience at Good Sam, I'll be delivering there. I'm also hoping to get a private room..it definitely sounds like it's worth the money!

It was different. For #1 my water broke and DS was delivered about 8 1/2 hours later with 1 1/2 hour of pushing. For this guy, I started having contractions early in the morning. They sent me home to labor at home (which really sucked). I went to L&D later, pushed for 16 minutes and out he came.
So I was in labor longer with #2, but I pushed much less.
