I've just moved here and found out am expecting (early next year). 1st baby born at Kingston - assisted (fine) but had choice of 4 hospitals, furthest away 4 miles. This time, looks like minimum distance is 10 miles and from the reviews they all sound awful. Would value a recent experience. I'm looking at Darent Valley, Farnborough and Pembury (although only person i know due to give birth here was told no room at the inn and go elsewhere)
I'm looking for somewhere that will:
-Give me an epidural if I want one (Kingston were "too busy" - I'm convinced I would not have had ventouse and stitches if they'd given me proper pain relief).
-Have drs and equipment. I'm a doom merchant, need the gear in case something goes wrong, birthing centre no good. I like science.
-Easy journey - need parking and no traffic jams.
-Private room with ensuite
Aftercare and support not such an issue. didn't have much last time and muddled through and know what I'll be doing this time.
Thanks in advance.
