"Lovely midwifes pity about service decisions and..."

About: University Hospital Of Hartlepool

Anything else?

I have chosen the birthing centre to give birth in but found that after 5 pm you are left with no support as they don't tell you that you can only access the birthing centre 3 times before you are not allowed in anymore. This makes you go to north tees and being worried and in pain for hours until the day unit decides to open again the next day . It says it shuts at 6 but I can't speak to anyone after 5 today . Midwifes know what they are doing and nice to you but very disappointed in the trust wish I'd gone to south tees again now.
