Glad you had a successful vbac congratulations ❤️ How did you find the support leading up to it? I’ve been having cervical scans to check if all ok. How did you find the labour ward? Do you know if birth partners are allowed to stay overnight? Thank you x
Birth partners are allowed to stay. You’re allowed a maximum of two and they will receive wristbands. They have comfy chairs for birth partners that recline or extend to a sleeping position. They will also provide pillows/blankets for birth partners as well.
No complaints from the support. They listened and provided advice. They’re all very kind and genuinely care about your wellbeing. There is a birthing pool but it’s first come first served, so it’s not guaranteed.
Ok fab thank you; glad you had a good experience.
Queen Charlotte’s has a better CQC rating than Hillingdon and the overall standard of care is better. It’s cleaner too. I had a successful vbac a few days ago and they were super supportive. Vbacs do take place on labour ward as it’s easier to transport if you needed an emergency c-sec.
