St. Paul's Hospital

Besides the fact that I work here, I really can't say enough good things about St. Paul's Hospital!  I'll be giving birth at this hospital for many reasons, some include my coworkers are a few floors up, my former coworkers are also maternity nurses and support staff, you get your own private room for labor, delivery, same room for postpartum, and the fact that I work here and totally feel comfortable with how things work, where things are, and the food available just down the street!

As for SPH's maternity ward, I remember doing a clinical on this unit way back when, in nursing school, when every female nursing student wanted to do maternity- until they actually got to do maternity LOL!  I think I was one of those people.  Who wouldn't love to play and cuddle with non-crying, cooing babies!? Little did I know that there was more to the job!

Anyhow, SPH has a great little webpage dedicated to the maternity unit, what they do, and what they can do for you.  There is even an online video tour of the maternity unit!
