Barnet hospital c section

Hi Everyone

I'm considering changing over from Lister hospital to Barnet as my experience there wasnt great. Could anyone share their experience of c section at Barnet? Also are rooms private? As Lister is only shared wards. Id love to have a private space.

Hi I had a c section at Barnet and the procedure itself was good. I was taken to a shared ward afterwards which wasn’t so great, not a lot of space at all… but unsure if there are private rooms.

I have had 2 x c- sections at Barnet! The c-sections are brilliant. And 2nd time around the care was good. However if you have a c-section the policy is you have to be in a bay for 24 hours after in case you bleed. I know this because I enquired about a side room. If you stay more than 24 hours then you can pay for one. Not going to lie did not get any sleep as the bays are so noisy x

Sorry I didn’t have a C section but I had a lovely experience at Barnet and was in a private room after with double bed and my partner could stay x

2 c sections at Barnet and loved both of them. On the ward after which wasn’t great but cannot fault the staff or care I got.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
