Hi ladies
This is my first post so bit nervous Oh and i'm 31 wks and hormonal....!
Due to Medical reasons I have to have a CS, this is my 2nd child and my first was an emergency section on NHS. I was going to go NHS this time, but I have been told that I cannot collect my babies cord blood privately at my local hospitals (which is a whole new thread!!). So I am going Private which my insurance helps out with costs, thankfully. Top of the options was the Portland, but which consultant do you choose - Dr Gibb, Maggie Blott, Pat o'Brien, these seem to be the names cropping up on here, but no recent posts. Also, I rang the Portland yesterday and they have an ICU for the babies and an HDU for the mum, as this was my main concern. As its ok having a nice room etc, but when push comes to shove, I want to make sure if something goes wrong i'm not in an ambulance going to an NHS hospital!!!
Please can anyone give any advice of what consultant you have seen, I know they all have their pros and cons and also what you thought of the Portland.
Thanks in advance....
