I had DS1 at the ERI and it was awful.
Never saw the same person twice (and I was there a LOT!!), very understaffed, waited over an hour for many appointments and was forgotten about more than once, staff didn't seem to consult one another so each person would give me different information about what was happening/going to happen.

In fact the nursery nurse and pediatrician were behaved so awfully to me (I was 24 but looked about 17 so think they thought they could bully me) that they were dragged in by a superior and reprimanded!

I've heard lots of great things about St Johns. My SIL delivered both her girls there and said it was very good.

I actually had my other children at Forth Park in Kirkcaldy and they were just amazing.

Just train the bump to arrive outside rush hour and you will be fine

Hi, I had both my dd's at St Johns, but then I am right accross the road from it. was in for 2 days with my first and 12 hours with my second (had lightening births though), I liked St Johns, staff were lovely and it seemed very clean to me. Cant say you really pay that much attention when you are in labour but I liked it and would have more babies in there.

Can I hijack and ask a couple of questions,

I live 2 mins from eri and all care good so far (I have Craigmiller midwives to )

Has anyone had a waterbirth there? Really want one, and did I read no hospital tour... that worries me.. the place is like a bloody maze lol.

if you are 2 mins from eri, have a home birth. you can rent out pools. craigmillar lot are really up for home births.

My friend had a waterbirth at ERI and said it was fantastic wa home after 6 hours (2nd baby) My midwife is trying to convice me to have a home birth this time round though. IME Eri was great though.
