Hi,
I'm considering having a private elective C-Section (London area).
This is for health reasons (private matters, sorry) and also because I've always been phobic of having a natural birth. Actually, this option has never crossed my mind.
The hospital where I'm having antenatal care is extremely disorganised, I don't like neither the midwife nor the consultant who are seeing me. The other two options in my area are far more scary and I'd never go to either of them.
I've read a few things about the Portland, the unit in St. Thomas Hospital and St. John's Hospital.
Ideally, I'd have the antenatal care provided by the NHS (as bad as it is) and would have the delivery and hospital stay only done privately.
Does anyone have an idea of how much it'd set me back?
Thanks in advance.
