I was booked to give birth at John & Lizzies where I gave birth before but due to baby potentially needing special care due to growth restriction I can't now give birth there. Because of earlier problems in the pregnancy I've been going for scans at the C & W and some appointments there in case I needed to be admitted earlier so I have some rapport with the hospital but I wouldn't know who would deliver the baby as I'd be on the NHS there. My obstetrician from J & L has said she could arrange for me to go to the Portland with her but I visited it and don't feel comfortable with the place. Neither of the 2 hospitals are my ideal solution as I'm not good in hospitals and J & L made me feel safe and secure. So I'm not sure whether to go C & W where I feel more comfortable but won't have someone I trust with me or the Portland which I don't have a good vibe about but would have the obstetrician I know. Any comments on either place would be really helpful and it's not great to have to change hospital at the last minute and is making me feel unsettled and keeping me awake at night.
