Lewisham vs Kings Hospital? thanks

[tigeryuan]

I?m expecting my second baby and I actually picked Lewisham as my GP told me 95% will got there from his clinic.
I had my first with St. Thomas and they were very good.

Does anyone have any experiences with Lewisham or Kings?

I'm 14th Aug!!!! Talk to you tomorrow.

Hiya.
just want to give you an update.
my gp did the referral letter to st. thomas for me this morning!
just have to wait & see now!

Ooh fingers crossed for you Tiger.

Why don't you join the August Ante Natal thread on here. There are lots of us.

Hi I was booked into Lewisham for my 2nd DD. I called in when my contractions were 5 minutes apart & was told to come in, which I did. When I arrived I was examined & told to go home & take paracetamol as my waters hadn't broken therefore I wasn't in labour.
By the time my DP & I had reached the taxi rank just outside my contractions were 2 minutes apart. I refused to go back to lewisham & went to Kings instead. My daughter was born within 40 minutes in the sack.
Personally I wouldn't recommend Lewisham but then the aftercare at Kings wasn't great either (& I work there!)
Working in a hospital though I do know that there is an option as you have patient choice - you can choose so if you want St Thomas's ask for it!
