VCU Medical Center Labor and Delivery Unit

Starting with the pluses: attentive and competent anesthesia team, professional c-section operation. Minuses: long wait for recovery room, terrible food (often missing items and delivered late), unempathetic nurses, heavy handed in pushing exclusive breastfeeding immediately post-operation, nurses missing or withholding painkiller doses, nurse practitioner didn't seem to care and just wanted patient to discharge ASAP to make room, OB took out c section bandage too soon and without care, medial students floating in and out constantly at inconvenience times for patient doing repetitive checks that are unnecessary (be mindful this is a teaching hospital, you'll be made a guinea pig in many ways). Would not recommend anyone to deliver at this hospital.

Every hospital has changed their policies relating to Covid and family being there its a shame this one has not maybe because the after delivery rooms are entirely too small. It would be nice if someone could have more than one person smh

Regretting choosing this hospital to deliver our child. We have a 6 year daughter that would love to be a part of seeing her new sister at delivery, but per there antiquated covid policy she will not be allowed in the room to see and hold her sister. Every other hospital in the area has abandoned these types of policies. Doesnt seem like much of a family centered approach as per their website. She should be able to test negative and see her sister!!!
