I didn’t have a natural birth there I was induced and tbh the care wasn’t that great within pregnancy they left me animic with both pregnancy’s and only found out 2 weeks before I was induced the staff are nice but didn’t always listen for example I was induced at midnight was in labour by 2 and they said I wasn’t so I request to be checked and then they sent me to labour ward the staff were lovely there and let my partner stay longer than other patients partners did due to my blood loss and helped me to the toilet when I needed to go good luck on your labour all the best x

I had a dreadful experience at women’s so considering RHH, thanks for sharing x

I had my first at women’s hostiptal they were awful there staff were so unprofessional called me unstable for crying in labour x

I had a natural (4 week early) birth at RH in 2020. My midwife Amy was amazing and overall my birth experience was positive! Amy was so calm and listened to my needs. I'll never forget her 😊
The health care assistant wasn't as friendly after i gave birth she basically came.in and said get up and shower i need the room, fine, but she was so insensitive to the fact I had stitches and hadn't walked yet.
we stayed in 2 days i found this really hard as it was in lockdown
There was a lovely midwife on the ward on the first day but the 2nd day another staff member wasn't nice or helpful and i had to really push to go home (all was fine)
I looked online when i waa pregnant and the scores for maternity services were about the same for WOmens and RH
I've heard Womens is super busy so that can impact yoir experience there i guess

Wishing you all the best wherever you choose x

I can't really fault my labour there tbh. My midwife was called Karen and she really was great x

thank you I will be going RH I think seems to be more positive atm in comparison x
