Kings is great. Not posh or anything but they have a nice suite if you want to go intervention-free, then great facilities if god forbid anything went wrong. Strong midwife team.


Don?t know anyone who has used a private midwife. If you want a home birth you can just ask on the nhs and they?ll provide a midwife to assist in the homebirth. There are specialist teams on the nhs.

Had a tricky birth at Kings but still plan to have my second there. The fetal medical centre where you have scans etc is world class, as a research hospital there?s extra precautionary measures re preeclampsia as a result, for example. Also, it has a NICU if god forbid anything was wrong with baby at birth and is part of Kings Health Partnership so very closely linked up with Evelina Children?s Hospital too.

Hi Minisimo2,


I'm a local Mum and Private Midwife (lived in ED for 25 years, run antenatal classes here for 15 years and all four of my children born and raised here - ED is carved on my heart!)I've PM'd you to say please feel free to ask me anything :) If you'd like, I can ask some of my current/ previous ED clients if they'd be happy for you to chat with them about the services locally, both NHS and private - just let me know. x

Both of my kids were born at St Thomas. Its one of the best hospitals in the country for neo-natal care and was convenient for appointments at work. We paid for a private room post birth both times as well which was pricy but really nice as my husband could stay and we had lots of privacy as a new little family unit.


Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Hi


I used a private midwife ([email protected]) as I found the NHS service to be severely lacking. It was fantastic having an advocate when I needed to go to hospital as well, as I didn't want to be bullied into doing things that weren't right for me.


I would urge you to consider all possibilities and write down what you would like to happen in an ideal world, and what you are happy to accept if things don't go to plan.


Best of luck!


Kind Regards


Johanna

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
