Fitzgibbon Hospital

I received excellent care, from ultrasounds to labor-and-delivery to lactation support, and I’ve had three children at three different hospitals in two different states.

It’s important to have complete confidence in your nurses and doctors in your delivery room, because when you bring a child into the world you’re in one of the most vulnerable states. It’s super important that you trust them and feel confident that they would be able to handle any possible complication. They helped me feel confident that I could get through labor and delivery.

An ultrasound at 21 weeks is what caught Wyatt’s kidney problem. He was born with a kidney anomaly in that one of his kidneys was larger than the other. My other two children had it also. Two of my children had the problem corrected surgically, and the other self-corrected. 

You’re not just a number at Fitzgibbon Hospital. I’ve had three children and delivered at three different hospitals. At Fitzgibbon I received, by far, the most personal, one-on-one care during my hospital stay. When I left the hospital, I felt like I wanted to be friends with all my nurses and my doctor. I didn’t really feel that one-on-one time with the nurses and doctors during my previous births. The staff here does everything in their power to give you the birthing experience you’re hoping to have.

I delivered on Dec. 22, 2022 and really, really wanted to be home by Christmas Eve, because we also had a 4-year-old and 2 year-old at home. Wyatt was born with jaundice, and the hospital staff weren’t sure if they would be able to get us home by Christmas Eve so we could all be together as a family. But the nurses and the doctors did everything possible to get us home on Christmas Eve. We were able to leave the hospital around 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and wake up at home on Christmas morning as a family of five.

I give all the credit to the doctors and the nurses at Fitzgibbon Hospital, because they made extra rounds to continue checking Wyatt’s jaundice. Even after they didn’t have to, they made extra rounds for him and put in extra time to ensure that we were able to safely go home on Christmas Eve.
