Private delivery Buckinghamshire

Hello all! Very new to Mumsnet but looking for some crucial advice and hoping this community can help.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and looking for an obstetrician to deliver privately but have NO idea how and where to start! I live around Buckinghamshire and hoping to get someone nearby for ease. Anyone have any sort of recommendations as I would really like to go based on word of mouth. I've spoken to all the NHS hospitals and understand they don't do private deliveries... any sort of help would be hugely appreciated!

You'd need a private maternity hospital. Not sure there are any in Bucks ?
Are you having a private midwife ?
Your midwife should be able to advise.

Not necessarily. There are obstetricians who take on private patients within their NHS hospital. There's two in Oxford for instance. I imagine in Buckinghamshire though it's more likely women would just go into London for private maternity care.

Oh ok. I work in a hospital in Bucks we don’t have private maternity patients.

My wife and I have selected a private midwife, Hoping for a home birth but they will accompany us to hospital otherwise. We are in all don but they may cover your area? Private Message if you’d like to discuss further.
