I have my baby at New Cross (vaginal birth) I was in enhanced care, where they do the c sections and the surgery team are amazing and so caring! You will be in the best hands! - my only criticism is once you are moved onto the standard maternity ward, you are just a number and they don’t care about you. You have to push for medication, answers to anything or to be discharged. The after care is also terrible but that’s more standard NHS rather then an actual issue with New Cross x
