I think it depends on the time of year that you deliver. August/September can be horrendous - we were actually warned about it in advance when we went to tour the hospital. I had my son there in September 2006 and it was a madhouse. They had women "in recovery" waiting in hallways, and put them eventually in nonmaternity wards. Given the work they were doing, the nurses and doctors did their best to be caring and considerate, but my (induced)labor was protracted because we were waiting for a L/D room for about 10 hours (they had to serve the people who came in in natural labor first - never mind that I needed to be induced because there was no more amniotic fluid!). So - I wasn't particularly happy with the whole experience, but wouldn't put it on the staff at all, just an overstressed hospital. And I heard recently that 2006 may have been a mini baby boom. So - upshot is, ask staff what April is usually like - they'll probably tell you.
