I had my three kids at Fairview Hospitals because that's where my OB clinic insisted I go. I personally would choose Methodist. They are one of the best hospitals in the Twin Cities. They are a better run facility and don't have nearly the staffing issues that Fairview has. I would also check infant mortality rates between hospitals with the State Department of Health. Hospitals are a big topic of discussion in my family because I'm a nurse and my father works for the MN Deartment of Health and we talk about this stuff all the time.
So here's something maybe you haven't thought of. What about a home birth? Having a home birth can be such an awsome experience and I have plenty of contacts for you if you think you might want to consider that an option. Like I've said, I have three kids and for me, if I could do it all over again, I'd have them all at home. As a few other mothers have stated, hospitals are not healing environments, but hopefully your home is.
