Queens hospital

I am also going to Queen’s! The options aren’t great near us. I’ve heard people have had bad experience at Whipps Cross as well but so far, I’ve heard good things about Queen’s. What have you heard?

I didn't like Queens but my sis in law gave birth there and she was happy, she had a planned cesarean.

I was happy with Whipps Cross.

Heard good things about homerton though, don't know much about it myslef

I gave birth in queens last year September and didn’t have the best experience 😢 my midwife was great but she had to go on lunch while i was 10cm dilated and had to wait 2 hours until i was allowed to push which led to an infection and then both me and baby had to stay for a further 5 nights on the ward on an antibiotic drip as we had to both be treated for sepsis 😩 don’t want to scare anyone this is just my honest experience. But 2 of my friends have given birth there and both had great experiences so i think it just does depend! Good luck with everything xxx

I had a planned c section during covid time and i had a great experience.

I gave birth at Queens hospital in 2021, and despite with covid around, I had a fantastic birthing experience from prenatal to post natal ward. The midwives were so helpful and even bought a blanket for my sleeping husband who was resting whilst I laboured into the early hours before giving birth. Just the small gestures when they didn’t need to was sweet.

I was induced here in April 2023, being induced was not a great experience for me. After being given the sweep and rods, I was given the hormone drip. As it wasn’t working they topped it up so I was getting contractions but not dilating. In the end I had a c section as baby was getting stressed. Couldn’t complain about the c section itself as they where brilliant. The stay after was horrible as I was in a room with no windows :( overall not as bad as I thought x
