Pineville Maternity Center- The Perks
In an earlier blog, I mentioned location can be very important in determining where you want to give birth to your baby! The predictability of labor is that it’s unpredictable! Your labor might be 4 hours long or it might be 12 hours long, or if you’re lucky like me, it could be 37 hours long! But you won’t know until you’re in labor..and hopefully you’ve already picked out a hospital by that point!! Here are some bullet points to give you a run down about how Pineville’s Maternity Center compares.

Pineville Maternity Center— the Google Reviews
Pineville Maternity Center is rated a 3.1 on Google reviews. They have some great reviews talking about caring nurses and especially with scheduled c-sections. But they also have some reviews warning about the standard of care. I would definitely ask some of your mom friends who have delivered here for their experience and make your own judgement! The nurses at any maternity center can make or break your labor experience and obviously you won’t know who’s on staff until you are there.
Here is a kind review someone left 6 months ago about their labor experience in Pineville—
”Grateful for my labor and delivery experience here. Nurses are amazing and caring.”
