I see no one has mentioned St. Marys in Long Beach. They do not have luxurious rooms or anything but they are ALL PRIVATE ROOMS! I delivered 2 babies there & many friends have delivered there as well & have been very happy. My Mom is a retired ER Nurse & she was very impressed with the care I received there. I do think it's important to be in a hospital with NICU. I had a totally normal pregnancy, then unexpected complications during delivery. My son had to go to NICU for several hours. I was relieved he didn't have to go to another hospital.
As far as doctors, I absolutely LOVE my OBGYN, Dr. Mackovic. She has offices in Long Beach, Lakewood & San Pedro. She can deliver at Long Beach Memorial, St. Marys & a couple others. Her website is www.completewomencare.com
