watford without any hesitation. I had DD at NWP and wouldn't wish the experience on my worst enemy.
the only person I know who was happy with NWP had a c/s - maybe their c/s dept is better than the rest of it?!?
I was induced, (I dared ask a doctor if there was any other options, to be told, only if you want to endanger the life of your baby - really sympathetic/caring...) left on a ward with no privacy and only checked on 4 times. DH was thrown out for 3 hours when I was in established labour because I was still on the ward (only one in labour, everyone else being monitored and looking at me in horror) and it wasn't visiting hours.
I was finally taken to the delivery suite 20mins before DD was born.
postnatal was even worse, I was told off for bleeding too much and it getting on the sheets, DD had jaundice, and had to go on the phototherapy machine, it took them half an hour to figure out how to switch it on, and they gave me wrong advice re feeding DD when on it.
When DD was 2 days old I was told that because, at the end of a feed she was dozing off instead of feeding continuously then suddenly stopping, I needed to wake her up. m/w stripped DD, patted her firmly on the cheeks, doused her in water, DD started crying (understandably!) so m/w said, ooooh we've got a willful one here, you need to give her some formula to calm her down then try and feed her again later.
There was one m/w I came across in the 6 days we were there who actually helped, the most helpful, caring person was an irish woman who's job it was to bring round the tea.
I could go on and on.....
go to watford.
