Maternity Unit

Darent valley in Dartford is really good!

if you can send me a message I can share my experience with you xx

I gave birth at Basildon had a really positive experience and I was also induced xx

Congratulations!
I had both mine in Darent valley and couldn’t fault it! We did used to live in Kent though for my first and then chose to go back there for my second despite living in Thurrock x

I started off at Basildon and moved to Broomfield around 33 weeks. I too looked at the reports and thought Basildon would be better but they were dismissive for me - as soon as I moved to Chelmsford I was taken very seriously, monitored thoroughly and made sure I got the right treatments before baby arrived (I was very low on iron and Basildon said I was within range albeit low and gave me tablets knowing they take weeks to have an effect) whereas Broomfield put me on iron infusion straightaway and I got my iron to a safe level for delivery!

Broomfield delivery was very pleasant, no pushiness/insistence - I had my baby 4 days ago!
