Saint Joseph Hospital Vs. UCHealth??

Question

I can’t decide if I want to give birth at University Hospital or at saint Joseph Hospital. I am leaning towards Saint Joseph hospital more. Saint Joseph seem like they care more than University. Any mommies have any labor and delivery stories for either?

Answer

I delivered my daughter at UCHealth 4 years ago and had a lovely experience. I’ll be delivering there again. It’s very close to where I live but I’ve really liked all the docs and nurses I’ve met with.
I did go into L&D at UCHealth a few weeks ago as a precaution and my little one was moving so much, a nurse held the monitor to my belly for 30 min to make sure the NST went well. They went out of their way to make me feel taken care of, which I so appreciated.
All that said, I’ve only heard great things about Saint Joe’s so I’d go wherever is more convenient or feels right for you!

Answer

What state?

Answer

I'm in Colorado! I'm with UCHealth right now, and will be delivering with them. The biggest con I have is that they have tons of patients, so sometimes it feels as if your care isn't as specialized, if that makes sense. I've been to the UCHealth ER once in this pregnancy and it was alright. It wasn't the best experience. It was just the ER though. I have really liked my doctor and the nurse practitioners at my OBGYN so far. They always get me in to see me whenever I have a concern and I didn't want to switch doctors because I really like seeing this doctor. The birthing center at the UCHealth hospital seems pretty good. It's better than the one on the base (my husband is military). I have a few friends going through Saint Joseph and they have all really liked their experiences as well. I don't have much to say about Saint Joseph but I haven't heard any bad stories. I think whichever one you choose won't be a bad one!
