I had my second child at Christus St. Catherine and I LOVED it. I had my first at Texas Womans and since that is such an esteemed hospital I assumed my experience there was a good one. It wasn't bad, but when compared to Christus, I realized I had a much better experience at Christus. I had to find a new doctor with my second and I was adamantly opposed to that whole thing. But I have to say in the end I am glad it all happened the way it did. You do the entire process in your room (unless you need surgery of course then you go to the operating room). And the rooms are nice and roomy. I can't remember about the accomodations for sleepovers but I think that the bench folded out into more like a bed. The nurses were amazing, attentive and caring. What I remember most about TX Womans is that there was someone coming in to check my vitals like every hour and alarms going off and paging over the intercom. St. Catherine's was so quiet and I was one of two women there so I got lots of attention. They said they are rarely crowded...unlike TXW where I requested a private room but was told it was not a guarantee because they always have a full house. Anyway, overall I can't say enough good about CSC. I hope you have the same great experience. I did get to tour first but it isn't necessary. You feel like you are in good hands the minute you get checked in. Good luck - hope this is helpful.
