RVI Big City Hospital or North Tyneside (small)

[HelenEvans]

We've just found out that our baby is presenting itself arm first and is already overdue and likely to be induced. We imagine we are likely to have a more complicated birth and intervention. It's possible that we may have a longer stay in hospital. Should we stick with nice and small North Tyneside Hospital or RVI in Newcastle with its specialist units?

I had choice of bishop Auckland or durham , and was induced and so glad I chose durham, where I was able to have epidural, and I needed a doctor to deliver dd via ventouse! I would go to big hospital.

Let us all know what happens, will look out for a birth announcement .

I had a 2 great experiences at North tyneside - brill midwives - very friendly. Had experience of SCBU too and they were great
I was in rake lane for nearly 3 weeks first time round too

oh yes - i was induced at NT too - all fine
