"Maternity Wards - Aspen Ward, Delivery Suite"

About: Darent Valley Hospital

I had my daughter in the hospital on the 27th of December. During my antenatal care, I made a decision to self-refer myself to DVH for labour and I did not regret. Starting from my prenatal care all the way through to postnatal recovery, I have had wonderful midwives and doctors. I opted for an epidural which was given very soon after I was in established labour, and it meant a lot to have the same midwife all the way through until the actual delivery. She was a great support. I am also grateful to the very professional and honest doctor who made me suffer, but did not let me have a C-section. Big thank you to all the lovely maternity staff I met throughout my stay at DVH.

Dear Ellie Thank you for writing this glowing review on our maternity services, especially at a time when you must be extremely busy with your newborn daughter. It is always lovely to read such super reviews and wonderful to see that your birth plan went exactly how you desired. Your kind words have been passed onto the maternity department. With best wishes The Communication Team Darent Valley Hospital
