I am due in late October. I had my first son at Rush Copley, which I loved, but am not able to deliver there again with my midwife as she's too booked up.

My other choices seem to be Provena Mercy in Aurora, Delnor or Alexian Brothers. Which hospital would you recommend? Not only for an all natural birthing plan, but which has a good NICU for any problems with baby?

What can I do next?

I too REALLY liked Rush Copley. I went to the midwives Karen and Noreen there with my first son, though ended up with a c-section and the doctors I met there were excellent as well. I don't know much on the other 3 hospitals you mentioned except that Delnor I guess is a magnet nursing hospital and they do have EXCELLENT nurses. Very friendly and helpful. I went to classes there when having both my kids and went to the lactation support group there, which I REALLY enjoyed. The lactation nurses are excellent there. When we have our third, Rush Copley is my first choice, Delnor is my second choice, I'm not a huge fan of CDH where I delivered my 2nd son...
Sorry not extremely helpful, but for what it's worth....

Many of my clients (i am a natural childbirth educator) deliver great with the midwives who work out of Hinsdale. It may be a little drive if you are located near the Aurora hospitals, but I have had clients out that way deliver at Hinsdale with a fantastic experience!!!!

I had both my pre-term babies at Alexian Brothers in Hoffman Estates. I had trully great experiences both times. The nurses are excellent, for both Mom and Baby. The NICU was also wonderful. My daughter was 6 1/2 weeks early and was there for 3 weeks and my son was 4 1/2 weeks early and there for one week. They are entirely flexible about the care you and your baby need and want. Good luck and congrats!
