Don’t come here!!! They will push a c section for THEIR OWN TIME EFFICIENCY AND THEY GET PAID MORE TO DO IT. It a learning hospital fine but i was poked at least 6 times in order for a nurse to do an iv. I lost so much blood I had to get 2 blood transfusions. It was a horrible experience and it was my first pregnancy I just feel so betrayed 6 months later

L&D, great experience. Libby was wonderful. The maternity ward is awful. You may be required to share a very, very small room and bathroom, they don't really tell you that. If you can help it, go to bon secour or even henrico- don't risk having to share a room. Giving birth is already hard enough. Imagine having to hear an extra baby or a TV on when you just want to sleep.

I only deduct one star because the buildings are really confusing for guests and the rooms could use renovating. Hig... read more

When baby was starting to get stressed during contractions, they were able to work with me through different positions to find ones that worked rather than jumping straight to a C section, which really makes this hospital stand out!

I had a great experience with labor and delivery at VCU, and the midwives were amazing throughout the process. However, my postpartum stay was traumatic. I was placed in a shared room with another family, separated by a thin curtain, and forced to share an unsanitary bathroom. I was in pain, bleeding heavily, and vulnerable. The situation was so distressing that I had a panic attack, and when I requested a patient advocate, my concerns were not addressed. The baby in the other room cried constantly, making it impossible to r... read more
