Hi
Anyone have any recent experience of antenatal care and/or birth at St Helier's in Carshalton.
Had my first DD at Kingston and would go back there but have since moved house.
Had a MC which was handled by St Helier's and while staff were kind, there were quite overstretched and maybe not as attentive (egforgot to give me painkillers, forgot to cancel my 12 week scan and someone phoned me up to scold me about missing an appointment and I had to say well my baby is dead etc)
Am now expecting again and have had a few issues - referral from GP not being processed for over a month, reassurance scan not being booked in despite request from GP being on the 2 copies of the referral sent, erroneously missing out my 12 week scan and booked for 20 week scan instead ....
All a bit of a nightmare and I am just wondering whether I might actually be better off somewhere else.
So just hoping anyone can let me know how they found it?
Also what would you do in my situ after having to chase so much and stuff going wrong/ missing etc?
Thanks
