avoid strenuous activities for six to eight weeks<\/a> after the surgery.<\/p>\nTo add insult to itching, Lindsay\u2019s incision reportedly became infected, likely because of the movement, and she was prescribed two courses of antibiotics to manage it.<\/p>\n
The Cut reported that Lindsay complained to the hospital about the fleas, only to be met with a patient-services representative who said Alexandra Cohen was \u201cunable to identify any potential source for the infestation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the hospital told The Cut that they \u201ccould not comment on individual cases, citing patient privacy, though they reiterated that no signs of fleas had been found and noted that the hospital follows a standardized cleaning process.\u201d They did, however offer to pay for Lindsay\u2019s home extermination as a \u201ccourtesy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Post, a spokesperson added: \u201cThe Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns is known and sought out by our patients for providing exceptional, personalized care. That reputation for excellence is a result of the skill, dedication and compassion of our remarkable teams. <\/p>\n
Doulas say some of the fancy design elements of this hospital are overshadowed by the \u201chuge trash piles\u201d on the floor of some of the birthing rooms. NewYork-Presbyterian<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud that our patients choose us to deliver their babies \u2014 it\u2019s a trust we do not take lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other women shared their own experiences with The Cut, alleging that the hospital is \u201covercrowded\u201d and \u201cpoorly managed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several have given chilling details about their deliveries, including one woman whose back was caked in dried feces from an unknown source. (It\u2019s incredibly common for women to defecate during labor.)<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand that a labor-and-delivery environment is unpredictable,\u201d one doula said. \u201cI work in all the New York City hospitals. They all have days where it\u2019s crazytown.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other doulas have complained about the \u201cunclean facilities,\u201d noting that the floors have been \u201cstreaked\u201d with amniotic fluid and spotted with blood and unidentifiable brown liquid.<\/p>\n
However, other patients have reported being perfectly happy with their experiences at the hospital, offering rave reviews in response to The Cut\u2019s piece.<\/p>\n
\u201cI gave birth here and it felt like a Four Seasons compared to every other hospital my friends gave birth in\/described to me,\u201d wrote one Instagram commenter. \u201cThe nurses were incredible and the doctors were even better. I felt genuinely cared for and the rooms were so clean you could eat off the floor. I literally chose my doctor so I could give birth here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDelivered December 2025 with my miracle baby girl after cancer,\u201d said another. \u201cThis was the only hospital recommended to me by my oncology team at Memorial Sloane Kettering and my IVF team because of how amazing the care is. 100000\/10 experience. They got my daughter here safely and made me feel so cared for every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet another insisted she had \u201camazing\u201d care, while a fourth insisted she \u201ccouldn\u2019t have asked for a better birth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York\u2019s moms-to-be are itching to deliver there.
