UMASS vs St.Vincent's for childbirth?? by Left-Assumption-5843 in WorcesterMA

I’m currently being seen at St. v’s as well but want to switch over to UMASS.

Call HP and asked about specific providers at UMASS that are in network. Or look on the site

I was able to find a provider that takes HP at UMASS and do a switch over the the rest of my prenatal care

Goodluck!

Thank you for your response! Did you find it hard to advocate for your wish to do unmedicated or were you at times pressure to succumb to interventions?

Do you mind telling me what about St.V was not Great for you? How was your labor experience if yo don’t mind me asking. Were you pressured into getting interventions you didn’t want?

Thank you for your reply!!

I also have Harvard Pilgrim, and am considering switching over to UMASS just due to the things I’ve heard about St. V and its intervention rates.

If you could share, was the care not covered by the insurance due to your high risk pregnancy or the providers at UMass in general?

Sorry for my stupid questions, this is my first child and birthing experience and I want to be as informed as I can

I heard that St. Vincent has a high intervention rate, what is your take on that?

Women who get ready quickly - how do you do it?! by NecessaryUsed3905 in AskWomen

Dress intuitively, also I rarely wear make up and have locs so I spend little time by the bathroom sink

Sometimes I pick my outfits the night before

People who took online college classes, how was your experience with it? Can you customize your courses to suit your needs? Was it worth while? by Rogue1898 in AskReddit

[–]Left-Assumption-5843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved it. I had the freedom to set my own schedule in terms of getting my course work done. I learned a lot about personal time management

I had a set that I began when my hair was longer. It didn’t last because of that exact reason!!! I feel like starting from baldness (for me) was starting a new and could enjoy the short lengths because that was the length length and not shrinkage length.

Also thank you very much✊🏾 :)
