Mount Auburn, years ago. Food was delicious even for SO. Room really luxurious.

They almost killed my daughter, won’t go into details here.

And then gorgeous incubator they had in the room didn’t work. My kid had to be rushed out of the room to one that did. When I saw the faces of worry in the nurses, I knew this wasn’t us being first time parents, but the real deal.

CHA seems even worse. Only there once for ER years ago. It was a terrible experience.

Go to MGH. It’s not as pretty but, they know what the f are doing.

Also had my first two at mount auburn. My second birth was quite traumatic due to nurse error. Also, as a teaching hospital, be prepared for a new nurse to do catheters and the like on you…not fun.

One thing i forgot to add, for kid #2 we were suggested to go to MGH, because we were not as young and there were some risks.

As I wrote, it’s not as luxurious as Mt Auburn, and kinda massive, but our second was born perfectly well and without hiccups or broken equipment.

If Mt Auburn is an Audi: pretty but spotty quality then MGH is a Toyota: sturdy but reliable
