Riverside Moms? Parkview vs. Riverside Community
Hi Girls!
I've never posted here (I post on the August 2011 board) but thought I might ask if anyone has any information about Labor/Delivery at Riverside Community vs. L/D @ Parkview.
I don't know which hospital to pick!!

Re: Riverside Moms? Parkview vs. Riverside Community
We toured both and ended up deciding to go with Parkview. We had a very good experience there and will most likely deliver there again if we do not go the home birth route next time around.
Reasons for going with Parkview:
Dad is allowed to stay the night, but Community does not allow this.
I was attempting to (did) go natural. I was told the nurses at Parkview were more open to a natural birthplan. My nurse was awesome!
I felt Parkview was more personal. Community, I felt like a number when we did the tour. Might be totally different if you are actually a patient there.
Things that we noticed from the tour that we liked better about Community:
Security system for baby, alarm put on them when they are born.
Rooms looked slightly nicer. Both are older hospitals though. I believe their rooms have showers in them. Parkview does not have this.
Other differences: Parkview's Nicu is part of Choc. Parkview does not have a nursery and baby has to room in with you.
My suggestion would be to tour both and get a feel of each of them and then decide! HTH!
Thanks, and thanks to the others who posted as well. Sorry that I didn't check back on this until today.
We've now toured both, and the main reason I'm leaning towards Parkview is that Dads can stay in the room. I am a first time mom and nervous about taking care of baby by myself that first night. I am also going to try to go natural. Good to hear that Parkview seems more open to this!
