Checking Out the Hospital

Mel and I went to Mercy Hospital tonight to take a tour of their birthing center. This was our first of two hospital tours that we'll be taking. We are going to check out Saint Luke's Hospital next week. I have to say that Mercy Birthplace was very nice. The nurse who gave us the tour was very nice, and they didn't seem too busy. The room was nice and spacious. It looked fairly comfortable considering that its primary purpose is for giving birth. The nurse told us that we would have a dedicated nurse just for us while in labor. The nurse to patient ratio of postpartum care was very nice too. We'll have to see how next week's tour goes before picking a hospital, but Mercy Hospital would be a fine place for us to use.

Okay, I'm gonna admit bias but I think you should pick St Lukes. :D Plus, the birth center there is really nice. That was where Kylee was born.

Later!

All three of my children were born at Mercy. They were professional and we loved the rooms. Of course we chose Mercy because we are Catholic, but that's beside the point. It was a wonderful experience times three.
