Hi B.! Congrats on the pregnancy! I delivered at Holy Cross, even tho I live in Columbia, because I couldn't bear to leave my ob practice, AND i've always heard such great things about the hospital. I really did enjoy my experience with Holy Cross. The labor and delivery as well as recovery rooms are all private, and very nicely appointed. They do not have a nursery, so babies are always kept in your room with you unless they are in the NICU. my delivery nurse was AMAZING, she had a great level of enthusiasm and was really helpful. I go to Capital Women's Care (Band/Badway/Sine etc) off Georgia Ave, and have done so since I was 16. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else. Holy Cross has 24 hour visitation, and allow you to order food from local restaurants if you don't like the hospital food.
A couple words of caution however: they are known as a "baby factory" and deliver a baby on average every 45 min. because it's such a busy place, you may have to wait for a l&d room to open up (i waited almost an hour, which was excruciating). Also, because they deliver so many babies, the staff can be a little overbearing, a little "we do this all the time, trust us" which might be a concern if you are very independent and have certain preferences. (I did NOT have this experience, but friends of mine have). I constantly reiterated that i did not want drugs or medical intervention, and although they were pretty shocked, they went along with my wishes.
All in all i'd say i had a very good, very comfortable experience. I hope this helps!
