Hi All. Hope you can help after reading another thread here. My wife is 8 weeks pregnant! Yay! We usually visit Richmond Private Practice for all our health needs (the local NHS GP shall we say has a lot to improve upon).
Today we visited to have a consult on package options for private care Pre and Post natal. However, the mid-wife would not be present with us during labour and I wondered what other options there are? Their suggestion was that they can either hand-over to the NHS for labour or that we go for private labour care . Her suggestion was with Dr. Chow at Kingston. My partner already has experience with Dr. Chow, but we are unsure if they do a complete Natal package.
The convenience for us is that Richmond Private Practice is right where we live. The only draw-back being that our mid-wife won't necessarily be present during the birth. (She does work for the NHS at Kingston so if she's on-duty she may be able to be there).
What are your wise thoughts? Totally out of my depth here.
