I am going through Asfords US clinic for this pregnancy as well, they are very thorough and the best place to go, the OB's there are very good, and the Sonographers very professional as they deal with the high risk cases everyday. I have submitted my forms for NECH and WCH, with it being highly likely we will be back at the WCH. Burnside will deliver for 34 weeks, which is earlier than NECH, I was a few days too early for Burnside as well.

I completely understand her sadness in possibly not being able to deliver at Burnside, but on reflection, if you are earlier than 34 weeks the WCH is the best place to be, the NICU and SCBU's are second to none, the care there is amazing, you want you bub to be where the best Paeds are too look after them. For mum it is hard, I really struggled, going back to a room in Post Natal, hearing day and night when I was there other babies crying, so very sad that I couldn't have mine with me. I was also right next to the lounge so a constant stream of bubs going back and forth passed my door. Other friends have been on Ante Natal and it was hard for them as they were surrounded by still pregnant mums wishing it could be them

There is also the option to transfer back out to Burnside and she would likely be able to go in as a border when bubs is well enough and is basically just focussing of feeding.

If bubs does come early, let me know and I can give you a mountain of things that were done for me and things I wish were that can make it so so so much easier.

Take care xxoo
