I'm 34 weeks, and I've only got 1 midwife appointment and 1 consultant appointment left, and they're both about a week before my due date.
I had apprehensions about the hospital I'm assigned to at the start but my midwife got really upset when I told her, saying that the midwives there are really demoralised because of people saying they don't want to go there etc.. So I agreed in the end.
I was nervous about it because of a few news reports I'd read about deaths of mothers and babies, but I thought it might be ok because they were under investigation due to the deaths and might be a lot better while under investigation. Recently though, there have been 8 more deaths. I'm quite worried now and really don't want to have my baby there anymore.
Is it too late to change? How do I go about changing if my appointments are so close to my due date? Also, the consultant has decided I will need certain care after birth, will that go over to my next hospital if I change?
