I've been thinking about which hospital I want to go to when we have our next baby & it's too hard so I thought I'd ask for more opinions.

My first labour was long & hard ending in a c/s. The midwife was absolutely brilliant & I fully believe that the problems started once she had to finish her shift (3hrs after she was supposed to) and my support team fell apart so to speak. Mum & Aaron were still there, but the loss of the supportive midwife stalled my labour I believe. For my next birth however I'll have a doula, my best friend & Aaron with me the whole time so I'm trusting that it's not going to be an issue again.

The after care was terrible, no if I think honestly it was one midwife that was terrible & nasty to me. Dramas happened & I said I'd never go back to that hospital because of her. The other issue was that the dads had to adhere to the very strict visiting hours so Aaron had to leave at 8pm even though I was in a single room.

Now I'm starting to wonder if it really was all that bad & if I could go back there again for my next birth. It's close to home, the midwife care before Zander was born was great & also during labour. My only two real issues are that one midwife, but not being a first time mum I think I'm more likely to stand up for myself and the other is that Aaron gets kicked out early....... I left on the Wednesday after having Zander by c/s early Sunday morning, so I'm thinking that if I get my VBAC I'd be up & about faster & probably home int eh same amount of time or even less?????

OH I DON'T KNOW!! Is it worth risking having the dodgy midwife again??? Is it going to matter that Aaron has to go home early cos he'd have to be with Zander anyway???
