Giving birth at the Whittington Hospital

[pacita]

Hello to all,

I am entering the 4th month of my pregnancy and finally managed to penetrate the NHS system. I chose the Whittington hospital for midwife care (after having heard horror stories from the North Middlesex and Homerton) and they only now have sent me an appointment letter.

So, in the light of how long it's taken them to even give me an appointment, I'm getting a bit worried about their efficiency.

Could someone who has given birth at the Whittington in the last year or so let me know their views? I would really appreciate some advice, as I really don't know where to turn other than private care - which is not my preferred option.

Thanks in advance,

I'm 21 weeks and booked in with the Whittington, really hopnig to use the birth centre. Ante natal care so far has been great, am midwife-led but sonographers have been great (and scan appointments on Saturdays - brilliant!) plus I had one consultant appointment and she was also lovely. Am hoping that my experience continues in this vein!
