St. Johns Chelmsford - anyone had/having a baby there ?

[Thalia]

Hi I'm new to Mumsnet and I have searched for info on the above hospital to no avail. Has anyone got any personal experience of this hospital ? I've only been for a scan and have not had a tour of the maternity unit. We have Parentcraft classes booked in Nov (I'm due Xmas Eve) that includes a tour. Thanks, any info appreciated.

anyone ?

No but I had some antenatal appts there - moved to Australia before 2nd baby born. Dh used to work for Mid essex trust( for a number of years) - have heard good things about it. Dd1 had lots of paed appts there - staff always very friendly, docs fab and very helpful.

Sorry can't tell you anymore but did not want you to feel ignored.

have not heard anything bad about it.

Ok eidsvold, thanks very much, nice to hear even a little something.

I had my ds2 there. it was lovely.

my first ds was born in harold wood. 100% would never go back.

i chose to go to st johns with ds2 and was so pleased i did. my ds2 was in scbu for a a cpl of ngihts and they were great.

i found it v clean and staff lovely.

Both my nieces were born there, my brother and SIL had nothing but praise for the care they received throughout the pregnancy, labour and postnatally.

Thank you and thank you. I will probably book a tour sooner than Nov 18th to see for ourselves, not that appearances are everything, but if it's clean that's a big deal ! I guess I'm in line now for someone to tell me what they didn't like !

Hi i'm also new to mumsnet but have already whiled away a happy hour or two browsing all the topics - will be doing lots more of this end sept.when maternity leave, and real panicking, starts! my query is anyone due in nov.and under east surrey hospital - or already given birth there? we've also not been able to get on to local nct classes in reigate - should we travel out of area for these are they worth the cost? thanks for any interest in littl' ol'me!

this might help with some info
