St Joseph Hospital

Has anyone delivered at st Joseph downtown? My OB wants me to attempt TOLAC at this hospital, but my husband is dead set against it. We’ve been for decreased fetal movement a couple times, and each time we had a slight bad experience. I had my first son at St Luke’s near the woodlands, and they are very professional and caring, but I would have to just show up to emergency while in labor and I’m not sure if they will be ok with me attempting a TOLAC that way. So Has anyone had a positive birthing experience at st Joseph’s? Or Negative birthing experience?

Ugh I would not go back again … I did not enjoy my birth experience, my son was born around shift change , it was a hot mess, being told the Dr was in a meeting and I had to wait, isn’t the type of event I can just wait for a Dr …

I had my two babies at the same hospital, and I had absolutely no problems. All the staffs were great.

Due to problems with my insurance coverage, i was forcé to change the hospital were i was suposed to delibere a month before giving birth and I had to go to St. Joseph Medical Center inDowntown. I had doubts and fear but at of the day, I had a great experience with all the staff. I would do it again.

@Kanan that’s what I’m worried for😮‍💨 I don’t want a hot mess type of situation. I’m worried it’s going to be chaotic and I’ll regret not just going to emergency at st Luke’s

@AJ that’s reassuring !

@Rosa this is what I’m hoping for ! so they gave you no problems and made sure you were very comfortable??

@Alexandria yes they do. I gave birth 3 months ago and they have been a great support. Today they are very attentive to me since I am dealing with postpartum depression.

I definitely wouldn’t go back and I had all my kids there …my last baby was in the nicu for 3 weeks and they mistreated her ….and me as well but I can speak up for myself

@Nayyy so overall a bad experience😭did you feel like they made you uncomfortable? Were they unprofessional?

I had my son there and the staff was absolutely amazing. I had a great experience. I was in labor for 2 days and had to have an emergency C-section. This was during Covid so we had our own private room. They kept me and my mom well informed and even after I gave birth, they were great!
