Watford or Barnet?

Hi,

I am currently under watford general but thinking of changing hospitals - I believe Barnet would be my other option.

I had my first baby at Watford and had a positive experience. Subsequent babies have been born at home.
This baby is considered high risk and it's been advised I have a hospital birth (actually I was told I'm not "allowed" a home birth which I know is not their choice). Anyway Ive had a few experiences at Watford during this pregnancy that have made me think about switching.

Any experience of Barnet?

Is it your pregnancy or the baby that's considered high risk? Well done for knowing your rights.

@Bumblebee413 the baby, but for ridiculous reasons. My first born 11 years ago was early and a low birth weight. Subsequent babies have all been born over 40 weeks and weighing between 7lbs 3 and 7lbs 9. Apparently they are now using a new growth system which makes my 7lbs 3 baby considered low birth weight too (even when he wasn't when born 5 years ago). Consultant now believes this baby is at risk of being low birth weight - hence is considered high risk.
