Stotfold mums

Hi, I'm living in Hitchin (renting) but considering buying a house in Fairfield Park (Stotfold). Can anyone share their experience of middle/secondary schools in Stotfold (Etonbury and Pixbrook in particular). Are they good, is there a school bus service from Fairfield? I'll need to apply for reception for my son in a year, but because we are buying we want to make sure the choices of secondary/middle schools is good and we are particularly worried about transport, as our work commute is towards London, so for school runs we woul need to go to Stotfold first, then to work. Also, anyone had any experience of getting their kids into a Hertfordshire school while living in Bedfordshire at the border? I know it's possible, just not sure if it can actually happen due to schools being oversubscribed/priorities. Thanks!

Hey, I'm currently 5 months pregnant, and I don't know I feel a bit confused about the treatment/all round support. Maybe I'm just not understanding the level I thought you would receive when pregnant. And I would like to hear other people's experiences?

I feel a bit left to be pregnant, I haven't been taken through any birth choices, I have no idea where the ward is at lister, so like if I was full term right now, I would have literally no idea where to go in the hospital .. is that normal?

And when anything feels wrong or not right, the GP I can't get into, called the local midwife, told to call the triage and the triage said it's not an emergency and to contact my GP... Who I can't see because... Anyone at Larksfield doctors you know my pain trying to get an appointment.

I feel so disheartened and a little bit scared to be honest, where I feel like I need full faith and trust :(

Need a little reassurance!

😅 thanks in advance!

Hi guys, did anyone else give birth in Lister but are with the Bedford midwifery care due to our postcode?

I was discharged from Lister yesterday after a c section and was told a midwife would call to see me today..I instead got a phone call from Bedford midwives today saying I had to come all the way to Bedford hospital tomorrow to be seen.

Obviously just having had a c section I'm way too uncomfortable to be in the car for 40 mins each way so hoping they will come out and see me instead.

Anyone else been in a similar situation? And if yes what did you do?

Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Hi! We just found out we’re pregnant and we’ve been given the choice of 4 local hospitals: Lister hospital in Stevenage, Bedford hospital, Hinchingbrooke hospital in Huntingdon and Rosie Hospital in Cambridge. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
