Birthing Centre expérience

[Joana2K]

Hello all,
this is my first pregnancy, and I was wondering what someone’s experience was giving birth in birthing centre at St Thomas’s Hospital, or Chelsea and Westminster Birthing centre or Epsom Hospital? These are currently the 3 I am debating on giving birth at. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Check how often it’s open and don’t allow them to fob you off with “oh we only ever close it if we really have to and really try not to”. Cause ours (another South London hospital) has barely been open for 5 years but no one tells you that
