After having been through the FBC and having to be transferred out for an attempted assisted delivery and then a c-section, I do have to agree about that the help should come to you. Through most of my pregnancy and labour at home there was the fear of not being able to go to the FBC due to strict policies and lack of staffing.

So if the loss of the FBC means more midwife based care through the rest of the hospital and nicer facilites, then that is great. My experience of the transfer out was not pleasant and quite scary and if situations like that can be minimised for other mums, then it is a positive move. Lets hope it new hospital is like they say it will be
