Hello!
I'm now at 32 weeks and have to do my birthing plan and I'm not sure which hospital to go to. I'm in Cornwall so can either go to our main hospital in Truro or to the birthing centre at Penrice.
Truro is the major hospital and I imagine will be total chaos and I don't think I will get much attention. However if anything was wrong they have the facilities there to handle anything. I can have an epidural. They also have no birthing pools
Penrice I am likely to be the only one there. I will have a room with a birthing pool. The downside is there are only midwives so if anything was to go wrong I would need to be transferred to Truro (about 20/30mins away).
My gut is Penrice as it will be much more homely experience but I'm worried about it going wrong and I cannot have an epidural.
Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts.
Thank you
