Had my midwife appointment at Kensington Wing recently, and it has left me rather confused: the advice was to cancel my antenatal care with NHS and go do all the scans and appointments privately, not necessarily with the same hospital - but with Harley St?
We are focusing our (not infinite) financial resources to ensure the best possible birth, given it's a late first child for us and an IUI baby. Our experience with NHS has been chaotic admin but the tests have been excellent and thorough, eg. 12 week scan and all other conversations. If anything, more thorough than Ken Wing appointments so far.
Has anyone stuck with NHS for as much as possible, and only given birth privately? I don't see the point in paying for the private scans and appointments which don't add extra value.
