Community vs. University Hospitals for Delivery: What's the Difference?

Question
I'm 39, LMP was 8/27/04, no children.
My doctor is affiliated with a community hospital.  A lot of my friends have told me I should go to a University hospital for delivery.  What is the main difference and what is the criteria I should be using?
Thanks!

Answer
Usually, in a community hospital, your own doctor will admit you and will deliver your baby. A university hospital is usually a teaching hospital and there are residents and interns that will admit you and will most probably deliver your baby. The advantage to a community hospital is that your doctor will manage your labor and delivery and he or she will do any surgery if you require a cesarean section. In a community hospital, the doctor does not live in the hospital, so if you go into labor you must call the doctor to let him know you are in labor and follow his advice and allow him to get to the hospital with you. In a University hospital, the intern will usually examine you and then call your doctor. The intern or resident will aid in the delivery or manage the labor, often. If you have been happy with the care you are receiving with your doctor, stay at the community hospital. It is usually a more caring place. However, make sure that the neonatal ICU is good at the community hospital. If there is any problem with the baby, it may have to be transferred to a tertiary care hospital where they have a level III NICU. Discuss any worries with your doctor. I like community hospitals because there is much more of a personalized approach. In a University hospital you are not much more than a number.
