Has anyone received their pregnancy care through Luminis Health, particularly to deliver at Anne Arundel Medical Center? If so, how soon do they take people for their first pregnancy/confirmation appointment? I know most places are 7-8 weeks, maybe as early as 6 weeks. And what was your overall experience with Luminis/Anne Arundel?

So far, I've had my well woman's appointment with Luminis in March and the appointment itself went well. But definitely want to make sure I know what to expect with them during pregnancy.
I'm sorry for the challenges you had with them, but glad you had a pleasant experience at the hospital!

I did, my LO was born on April 4th. It’s hard to answer the appointment question, because every provider has their own policies. I was being treated by Women’s OBGYN PA, and they deliver at the Anne Arundel Medical Center. I was seen by them starting at my first pregnancy positive, but that was bc I was pregnant through IVF.
My experience delivering at the medical center was mostly good. Delivery staff was amazing. Once you’re transferred to the mother/baby ward, you’ll notice that the rooms are comically small. I think that wing of the hospital is a little older because it looks like it was built in the 80s.
My biggest piece of advice is the request (or demand) a corner room. Those are significantly bigger and you’ll be much more comfortable. Also…. Avoid the lactation consultants like the plague. I’m not kidding, they were absolutely terrible and one even had me in tears. The advice and help I got from the nursing staff was much more useful and less stressful.
@Dani thank you! This is really helpful to know!
