Hi all,
I'm looking for some opinions/advice/insights to help me make a decision on which of these 2 hospital to choose to have my baby who's due around Christmas. It will be my 3rd CS (1st was an emergency CS (NHS) after 18 hours in labour and 2nd was an elective CS (Portland).
I'm currently booked at the Lindo because I really had to make a choice, but I have until early next week to switch without incurring any fees.
My amazing consultant works in both hospitals and so is flexible in terms of whichever I end up choosing.
My 2nd birth at the Portland was lovely. No complaints really. With that, I initially tried booking at the Lindo however there was no availability, hence ended up at Portland. Now that I have to do it again I'm very confused especially having read a few reviews both for and against both hospitals.
Also worried about Covid concerns, after care, midwife care - read a very negative Lindo midwife review - :( and whether I'll be able to have hubby with me. as at now both hospitals will allow a birth partner. I know Lindo wasn't allowing partners earlier on in the year...this has changed 'for now' it seems. Worried of what could happen by Christmas and staffing over the holidays. Just all round anxious :(
Will be grateful to receive all comments/opinions to help me in this decision.
Thanks xx
