I thought snh did a great job when I was there almost 4 years ago. My wife's ob was there at one point. I can't see making the ob stay the entire time waiting for you to deliver the baby.

What if it's a 72 hour labor? The ob just isn't going to hang around the hospital for a few days... just in case. Lol

So usually in those cases, the midwives have back ups after 12 hours. Reference: my friend gave birth in Canada and this is what they do.

May I ask which OB she used?

I wasn’t sure if one hospital was more handholding versus the other. All of my friends who have given birth are either in MA or northern NH. I have tried getting information from the hospitals directly, but all of the nurses that I have spoken with say that both hospitals are about equal.

She uses Foundation right next to snh. I think they moved up into Amherst now or at least her doctor did. Mostly everyone I know has used snh. I've never been the biggest fan of st Joe's just from the care my stepdad has gotten going there.

I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I know where you are talking about! 🤗 That’s where I go!
