Hello, I'm 16 weeks pregnant with twins, and it's likely I'll need a c section, which I'm quite happy with. Our health insurance covers c section, but not, I'm disgusted to discover, any treatment/SCBU for the twins as they were conceived following fertility treatment. I had my son on insurance at the Portland but we had a different policy then, and under the terms of this new (rubbishy) policy, I need to find somewhere where the SCBU is NHS, just in case something goes wrong.
From what I can see, St. Elizabeth and St. John has closed, The Lindo at Paddington isn't accepting patients after November and the Lansdell at St. Thomas's only has 6 beds. Queen Charlottes and Kingston are too far, so I think that leaves the Knutsford Suite at Watford, and the Lansdell if they can fit me in.
Has anyone delivered at Watford Knutsford Suite or the Lansdell lately? How much support did you get post delivery? Did they take the baby off you when you needed a sleep, and help with feeding and changing? What was your consultant like and would you recommend them?
All opinions gratefully received!
