ecs in Kingston hospital

Still hanging on, the consultant was happy to push the ecs until next week as baby doing well in the tummy (still breach though...).

A few more questions- maybe someone out there can help:

  • what are the chances in Kingston hosp of getting a single room afterwards and/or booking an amenity room? (and not being asked to leave it in the middle of the night...)
  • how does it work logistically- if I'm not supposed to move (and remove the catheter) in the first night and partners are not allowed to stay overnight, how will we go about feeding? a) let baby starving and crying b) parter taking baby home and straight onto formula c) no idea??
  • if it is not possible to get a private room, can I discharge myself after 1 night (I rather lie in my own bed than in a shared room)?

Getting really panicky now about the whole thing...

Hi, can't really answer your specific questions but my cousin recently had an ecs at Kingston and said what a wonderful experience the birth was. Good luck.
