Help please! I'm going to be moving to South Wales (porthcawl area) before the birth of my first baby in Autumn. I'm not from the area and have no friends there to ask about the local birth options.
My nearest hospital will be Bridgend Prnce of Wales, but I understand this is just a consultant led unit. My ideal would be to be in a midwife led unit. The nearest to me will be Neath, but the fact that it's quite some distance from a hospital in the event of an emergency makes me nervous. I think Cardiff could also be an option. There may be others I'm unaware of. I'd just really love to hear about any experiences (your own or your friends') of the birth centres and maternity hospitals in the area to help me feel a bit more informed.
Thanks in advance
