I know this has been discussed before but I was wondering if there are some latest experiences on this topic.
Kings for me is literally 5 mins drive away as we are in Dulwich. Scanning department I have heard is amazing but due to recurrent miscarriages and other issues so far I have used the Fetal Medicine Centre which is basically run by the same Professor - privately. My 12 week scan is also going to be there. So I could take advantage of the 20 and 32 "advanced. Scan" offered at Kings - free of cost which is a plus.
However given its likely to be a high risk pregnancy and delivery and post natal care is v important to me I am veering a bit towards booking in at St Thomas.
I work in the city so probably getting to antenatal appointments from work to St Thomas should be ok.
So key question for me is which hospital has better consultants if I have a complicated pregnancy - assuming I make it this far - and more supportive delivery and facilities especially if it's a premature baby. Think that will be a swing factor for me rather than the excellent /adequate scanning.
Any thoughts? Grateful to hear any recent positive / negative stories. Thank you!!
