Norwise Ob/Gyn Assoc

My first pregnancy, I went to Norwise. The nurses there are great, but the doctors there are very unreliable! They were always having to reschedule my appointments, including my ultrasound! And that ultrasound tech. is the grouchiest old man I believe I have ever met! My delivery went really well, but about a week after, I ended up with a really bad infection (because they hadnt removed my placenta) I had a have a blood transfusion and spent a week in the hospital! If you are thinking of going there, I would seriously reconsider!!!! more

I had my first child at Norwise OB - GYN & it was a hard delivery! Luckily, I had an easy pregnancy other than morning sickness, & carried to 37 weeks. But the labor was AWFUL. This places PUSHES for natural birth. I had a 9 lb. 7 oz. baby, and they made me have her vaginally. I was in labor 13 hrs. & pushed 2 1/2, which caused a hematoma on my baby's head. I was so exhausted & tired my placenta didnt contract, & I hemmorhaged. I almost needed a transfusion! I was so tired I couldnt hold the baby well for 2 days. I should have had a c-section. I also had to have an episiotomy because the baby was so big. I got an epidural that night too, & the nurse anethesist, didnt know how to put it in right, & it took 3 times to get it in. It was scary! I have had numbness, tingling, & twitching in my arms & legs ever since the birth. I am now pregnant again and WILL NOT be going back. The wait time for doctor visits is about 1-2 hrs. on average. In my opinion GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Pros: Got to see the doctor I was scheduled to see most of the time... Cons: waiting room time, nurses weren't super friendly... more
