had dd1 at kingston nearly 3 years ago and experience was awful - was working there at the time.
Ended up with emcs after 24 hours in labour, was told by a really supportive mw that "the reason it is called labour, is because it is bloody hard work.
dd1 was completely stuck and was never going to come out.
Received little or no postnatal care but was told that I would probably find BF difficult as dd1 was 10lbs2oz and would need more than my milk.
Bed sheet were left covered in blood,bed never made unless I made it.
Problem with Kingston is that it was built for approx 2000 deliveries per year and when I left in 2006, it was handling approx 5000+, with a view to increasing this to 6000 per year.
Have recently had dd2 back home in Edinburgh and the differences in care were unbelievable, had planned cs as did not want to go through same experience again. I saw my notes from Kingston and there were several issues with my care that I should have complained about but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I realise that people do have positive experiences at Kingston, I didn't and as I mentioned earlier because I worked there, I saw things from the other side.
Hope it all goes well for you,
