Mount Sinai East Labor & Delivery

Hi! Wondering if anyone who delivered at Mount Sinai Hospital on the UES would be willing to share their experience- favorite staff members? General tips? Things you wish you had in your hospital bag that might not have been provided?

Would especially be interested to hear from those who had a C-Section. If you’re particularly happy with the doctor who stitched you up, I’d love to know!

I gave birth in the mt sinai that’s like on 97th in 5th Ave .. I had both vaginal & c section . They treated me really well, I didn’t know I was getting a c section but I packed extra clothes for me in case I wanted to shower, a few baby stuff, I packed a charger. It gets cold so I would pack maybe a robe or something. I wanna go again for my next kid but I’m still debating

Hi Luba! Just delivered there in March via C-section. Dr. Torina is the best. He did my incision and closure. He is also one of the kindest and most comforting individuals.

They provide everything, but I would bring extra newborn baby clothes as they had a shortage while we were there.

They also don’t give you a lot of formula to bring home with you so make sure you have stock at home. Also, push to have the lactation consultant come to your room.

The best nurses are Gabrielle and Monica. Hand’s down.

Of course. The formula in the hospital is Similac 360 Total Care and they recommend that you continue that if your baby agrees with it. Just wanted to let you know if you want to buy some inventory in advance.

The lactation consultant you want is Crystal. We had a not so great experience with the other one. Ask for Crystal.

Is it safe to have sex after losing mucus plug?

We were planning on having sex tonight to try and get labour moving, but I've just lost quite a large amount of my mucus plug and maybe had a bloody show although I'm not entirely sure, it wasn't much blood.

Is it generally safe to have unprotected sex or is there a risk of infection?

Doula

Hello! I hired a doula at 5 weeks and I’m currently 31 weeks. I have not really connected with her and I have connected much more with my OBGYN.

I also recently found out she’s a Trump supporter which makes me concerned about her beliefs about women’s right to choose. This seems to be in direct conflict with what I believed Doula’s did (empowered women to be in control of their labors).

Has anyone had concerns about their doula in their third trimester and decided to go without. I have a super supportive husband who is a doctor at the hospital I’m delivering at. I also am hoping that my sister who lives abroad can make the delivery. I feel like with the two of them, I won’t need to doula. I just feel like after all this time with her, it’s strange we are still not comfortable with each other.

I’d love to hear folks thoughts. This is not an invitation to argue about politics. If you are a Trump supporter just keep it moving.
