I gave birth at the Lothian Birth Centre in June and had a fantastic experience.
We arrived to triage when I was fully dilated so everyone had to move fast before baby arrived.
The team were wonderful, keeping me and my partner calm throughout. After the birth, I was regularly checked on as I was in a private room.
