Hi everyone,
I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I've been very disappointed about the NHS care I've received so far. When I first saw my doctor to say I was pregnant, she never mentioned having a flu jab, she said she was going to put me on referral for a consultant (as I'm 38) and it's never happened, and I wasn't given a pregnancy pack - I only found out this week that I should have one and that I've already missed a blood test I should have had.
The midwives unit won't see me until 10 weeks, I kind of feel a bit abandoned at the moment.
In short, my experience with the NHS care so far has been chaotic and uncaring. So I started thinking about the scariest part - what about giving birth? Will that be the same?
So to cut to the point, I was wondering what experiences anyone else has had of private births and if you'd consider it worth it?
I don't live in London so I've no idea where the private birth centres are around Worcester, but I think it's worth inquiring about.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts, thanks :)
