JR or Wallingford maternity?

1 reply

Hi everyone, I'm due at the end of April and need to decide whether to give birth at the JR or the maternity place. I'm hoping to have a water birth and feel that I would be happier not at the JR as from what I have read you are more likely to have medical interventions in a hospital than elsewhere and I think I'd feel less stressed outside the hospital and therefore less likely to need lots of pain relief. However, my PIL are really anti me going anywhere other than the JR in case anything goes wrong (they're a doctor and a nurse). Anyone have any experience of either or both who might be able to give me some advice? Thanks.

I've never been to Wallingford, having my LO at the JR at the beginning of April, but again haven't given birth there.
Hopefully someone will come along that has a clue!
Have you tried posting about it on the main MN pregnancy topic? There are a lot of MNers in Oxfordshire that post regularly so you're probably more likely to get it seen.
