Horton in Banbury - nice?

[snowymum]

Hiya - I'm wavering between a home birth and the Horton in Banbury and wondered if anyone had any experience there? This is my first dc so am worried about all the traumatic stories of hospital births as I have no personal experience to go on. I am doing hypnobirthing and just want cleanliness, not to be bossed around or hurried and not to be treated like someone on a production line. This is all a bit early as I'm only 18 weeks but I want to decide! Or are there other excellent places in the area? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

had two dds at the horton. have had very positve experiences with both. didn't feel like I was in a production line at all. though felt more rushed to be discharged with the second.

had great bf support - 1:1 at bedside with dd1. and first night with dd1 I naively said to the midwife "what do I do now" and they basically were there everytime dd1 cried and talked me through nappy changes, feeds etc.

I'm 17wks with no3 so all being well we may meet up in the post natal ward!

That is great to hear! Er, see you there, then!

come and join us on the oct ante natel thread

Oh, I'm there already, fear not!
