Tucson Medical Center Labor & Delivery

They forgot to do newborn screening and forgot to take Umbilical cord clip off and forget to give us our baby first foot and hand print before we left they had very rude nurses and doctors never again will we chose this hospital for delivery.one of the delivery doctor I first saw us really rude told us that the baby might not make it since my wife was going into labor a month before her due date she told us that the baby might not make it or something will be wrong with the baby and that she will be in the nicu for longer then a week and that she will need to be on breathing tube and other stuff and the baby will weigh 4 pounds or less so after that doctors shift is over we get a whole new delivery doctor we end up having the baby 6 pounds 4 oz is in the nicu for only 48 hours doesn’t need any breathing tubes or anything like that

Overall I had a great experience here with my delivery. I just had 1or 2 complaints. Mainly, when I got all my papers of info, when I first got to my baby room, I got NOTHING on breastfeeding. The lactation specialist sees you on ur last day before u get discharged. So there’s really no encouragement to breast feed, also she’s not passionate at all about what she does. When I had trouble feeding my baby they recommended pumping, donor milk, or formula. I agreed. BUT I requested to see the lactation specialist ASAP so my daughter wouldn’t get nipple confusion making it harder to breast feed. She never came to see me that day. The nurse told me she put me on her schedule first since she didn’t get a chance to see me, she didn’t come till about 11am before I was getting discharged. She was little help. There’s no follow up, since your getting discharged. I feel sorry for first time moms whole might have trouble breastfeeding. Everything so backwards. Oh but they have a breastfeeding class u can go to at the hospital afterwards since they taught u nothing while in the hospital. Thank god for YouTube videos with lactation specialist who actually have a passion for what they do. Why would a new mother want to go back to the hospital for a breastfeeding class? How inconvenient. If it was done right the first time you wouldn’t have to have a outpatient breastfeeding class.
