U.S. News and World Report recently released, for the first time, a list of the 237 best hospitals for maternity care. In evaluating hospitals to create the list, U.S. News examined hospital data on labor and delivery services for uncomplicated pregnancies. Researchers looked at C-section rates, newborn complication rates, breast milk feeding rates, early elective delivery rates and whether a hospital offered vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
