I am twelve weeks tomorrow. I have had delays booking for materity services as I had only just moved to the area when I got my bfp. I immediately made an appointment to register with GP but there was a considerable delay (even though I told them I was pg) and I finally had my first ante natal booking in appt last Saturday.
I was asked which hospital I would like to be referred to. I very definitely did not want to go to my most local hospital - it performs badly in league tables for cleanliness etc but more importantly I have a friend who had her baby there and had a very bad experience. I know this could probably happen anywhere but it has really put me off this hospital. (I don't want to name it on here as I appreciate this is just one experience and I wouldn't want to worry others.)
Anyway the GP said this was fine and we discussed alternatives. My first choice she said was probably not going to be available - v.v. popular teaching hospital and I was booking in too late (although not entirely my fault). However she said I should get my second choice. I have now had my letter and I have been referred to my local hospital.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? I am concerned about delays as I am at the crucial time for scan but am v.v.v.v worried about this hospital because of my friend's experience.
Sorry for length of post but any suggestions would be welcomed.
