Pduyah Yahyisrael

Love coming here to daven, they have groups for ages 2-9 during Shabbat, and mommy and me for under 2 years. The have multiple minyans, including a Sephardic one. It is a very warm diverse place where everyone is welcomed. My daughters look forward to every Shabbat here and of course kiddish where the seek out shabbat treats.

Has a variety of stores and restaurants/ eateries to meet ones needs. I wish they had a least one kosher restaurant there, it would make things much easier for me anyhow. They have stores such as Costco, Macys, DSW, Carters, and Children’s Place. They also have an ok area for kids to play.

Ataliya Yocheved Shlomit was born here, we received wonderful care. My birth plan was respected, except for where it conflicted with hospital regulations. I do wish I was able to move around to help manage labor pain like they allowed me at GW hospital in DC with my previous daughter. We did have a hiccup when the pipes burst over our bed, the nurses came immediately, and moved us along with all our things to another room. I was also provided cloth diapers once they knew I was cloth diapering. We visited GMBC from June 6, 2021 I til June 9th, 2021. I was allowed to labor naturally with monitoring. It was a challenge not being able to manage my labor pain like I wanted and them not allowing me to deliver my baby in a position that was comfortable for me. On my back and sitting up is definitely not the best way to labor. For that reason I wouldn’t go back. The main reason I chose to give birth here due to low c-section rate, which for that main reason I am glad I chose to give birth there.
