Hello!
We've been lucky enough to conceive at the start of trying and are now looking to get the various ducks in a row.
One of them is telling the doctors' surgery our birth preference location.
We live in east Hertforshire and realistically have a choice between Addenbroke's Hospital in Cambridge and Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow.
Any thoughts or experiences that might point towards either of those would be very welcome. We're inclining towards Harlow as it's slightly nearer :)

Could you access Lister at Stevenage?

Bare in mind that at the Rosie, one of the consequences of not having enough staff means that babies are sometimes born on the antenatal ward (happened when I was there), women are left screaming in pain (I heard it), planned inductions are not always done when planned and you are hanging around for days which is a pain when you live an hour away, and then when you get to the labour room they are so rushed off their feet that you don't even get offered gas and air. Just saying.
