Had a very traumatic birth (emergency C-section, despite being classed as low risk throughout the pregnancy). I would recommend checking the stats for these - I suspect they are quite high. Level of after-care on the ward was extremely poor. Staff very difficult to get hold of, confusion over what drugs I should be taking (I had to remind them), no beds on the ward for the first night so left in a bay. Discharged four days late as they had nobody to do the baby check, and again no drugs ready for me to take home. I could go on. I shall be sending a full complaint to the hospital, outlining my concerns, as I wouldn't wish my experience on another woman having her baby at the hospital. Please do not be fooled by the brand new facilities (as I was!). Many members of staff told me of the problems at the hospital and their dissatisfaction. Wish I had considered Homerton - I've heard endless positive reviews of their level of care.
