No, just no - I would suggest Englewood amazing hospital and staff. I actually ended up having my son at Meadowlands Hospital before it was bought out and had a great experience there.

can you say more about your experience at jcmc?

Obstetrics wise they have a low c section rate and the postpartum unit is newly renovated private rooms

NICU wise, they are a level 3 NICU, same as Hackensack. Only level 3 in Hudson county. They can treat any acute condition , only Newark Beth Israel is higher locally because hey have ECMO which treats rare cardiac anomalies and heart failure, which presumably you would know already from your ultrasounds.

The care is good at the NICU I have first hand experience there you can message me if you want

As far as peoples complaints, some people have complained on Reddit about nursing issues.

A lot of the hate of jcmc is regarding other departments like the ER. But the NICU is actually a local gem. JCMC used to have a pediatric ICU (for non neonates) but it wasn’t busy enough to be financially viable and they had to give it up. Maybe 10 years ago. Sucks because there’s no pediatric icu in Hudson county now. But we have a great NICU.

I recently gave birth there. I thought the facility was comfortable enough and the staff was very nice and fairly attentive. They promote rooming in with the baby as they don't have a nursery outside of the NICU at the moment, so that is something you may want to think about. I didn't have any direct experience with the NICU, so I can't touch on that.

I recently gave birth at there. Good experience. Was seen quickly at ER visits. Even er visits for my toddler and newborn. This weekend was at er as baby has RSV and they transferred me to children's hospital elsewhere (good care in er)

Omg I literally read an article about RSV today! Hope your little one is doing better 💕
