What hospitals would people recommend in Kent for child birth? I’m currently under Medway and my appointments have been a nightmare so far. At my booking appointment I was waiting an hour and had the mid wife call me asking me where I was! Turned out the receptionist didn’t tell them I was there so my booking appointment was squeezed into 15 minutes because otherwise they would need to rebook me and by this point I was 10 weeks. At my 12 week scan I was waiting 3 and a half hours! I was the last one to be seen simply because they forgot about me! I am quite keen to go to Pembury but they come under a different NHS trust and I did self refer to Pembury but they never replied to my emails or phone calls. Can I just turn up at Pembury once I’m in labour? I am happy to see my midwife at my local GP which will be under Medway but I read online that sometimes you would have to redo bloods again with the new NHS trust? I’m a FTM so have no clue how this all works! Also heard good things about Crowborough as well and both Pembury and Crowborough are about an hour’s drive from me.
