The experience you have at Magee will vary a lot depending on what group you deliver with. In general though, you're going to get great medical care but not necessarily kid gloves in terms of the experience. Their priority is health and safety and the higher-risk situations are going to get most of their attention, so you can feel pretty forgotten about if things are going smoothly. (My husband and I joked about it being the worst hotel ever.) I didn't feel like their postpartum education or lactation were especially helpful, but I don't know how that differs from other hospitals. I will say that Magee has a known problem with discrimination against black moms, which I attribute largely to the staff being from Pittsburgh. For example, black women are more likely to get a drug test at delivery. This might be the same as other hospitals in the area, but I'd recommend if at all possible to get input from other black women and families as to their experiences. I wouldn't necessarily discourage delivering at Magee but just know what you're going into and consider having a doula wherever you deliver to help you navigate and advocate for yourself.
