If you are checking out hospitals, I would recommend that you also check out the Birth Center at Gaston Hospital (in Gastonia - it's a drive, but well worth it and it is right off the freeway). I had my baby there and it was just wonderful. They have one of the lowest rates of c-section deliveries around (they really try to support healthy vaginal deliveries and don't just schedule c-sections for the doctor's convenience). They also encourage you to "room in" with the baby, and they have wonderful big birthing suites that accomodate you and your family. The center is very new and they have great jacuzzi bathtubs, etc. We felt like we were in a resort (well - it was an easier and more pleasant experience for my husband - naturally :-) They give their nurses a lot of "say" in how it's managed (in fact, nurses helped design the place, and one of the nurses invented the type of jacuzzi tubs they use, which are now sold all over) so the nurses are happy. Mine were just great.
Congrats on your pregnancy! Blessings!
