| - I had my son at Southern Hills hospital in November of 2011. My overall experience was alright. The majority of my nurses were terrible, and a few were excellent. Surprisingly, there was really no median. I wish I could remember their names. I am so thankful that my nurse that was there right before and during the actual arrival of my son was so helpful. If it wasnt for her, I would have had a c section for sure. She flipped my body from side to side every hour or so, to help me dialate. I had an epidural, so my legs were completely numb. I couldnt really help her move me...and she did all the work. She did everything in her power to avoid a c section, and the end result was a vaginal birth. My major complaint was that not one nurse told me how to care for my baby after he was born. I had no idea how much to feed him, how to burp him, how to breastfeed etc. Another nurse helped me breastfeed, she was great as well. One nurse gave my boyfriend the wrong vaccine when she gave us the pertessus vaccine. That was a horrible mistake! The floor manager came and apologized, but wow..that could have been bad! My son ended up having jaundice...and had to stay an extra night without me. I feel like he got jaundice from me not feeding him enough. I wish one of the nurses would have told me I wasnt feeding him enough, I had no idea.
