I’m sure it’s a lovely hospital but it’s right round the corner from UCLH, which is an amazing NHS hospital. If there are any complications with the baby at the Portland, they get blue-lighted round to UCLH. So there’s a chance mum would remain in the Portland and baby would be in UCLH shortly after birth. Both of my children went straight into NICU when they were born - it was very hard emotionally, even when they were taken into the next ward. I can’t imagine them being in another hospital completely.
I’m getting irked by her smugness over the birth plan. Yes birth plans can be reassuring but literally anything can happen once you get going. You need to be a little flexible and brace yourself for any scenario.
Also her plugging that skincare brand as if it guarantees no stretch marks (“me and all my friends agree” ). Some people get them, some people don’t. And she’s not even full term yet!! Wait until 1 month post partum and then share your wisdom!
I’ll stop now
Why is she saying what birth would you choose, caesarian or normal? call me old fashioned but you should only have a caesarian, which is major surgery if your health or babies health is at risk, not just for the hell of it!
