All my experience is pretty out of date but on the whole St Thomas' was bloody great for ante-natal stuff (DS1 and 2 were fairly stressful pregnancies - lots of bleeding and scans and the MW were fantastic) Immediate Post natal care though was absolutely dire - after my experiences with DS1 I made sure I was discharged asap.

Not that I'll be staring out at the view much. And I went from being a 1:116 risk (deemed 'high risk' - but it wasn't the numbers that scared me; the sonographer talked to me as if my baby had already been diagnosed with genetic illnesses aplenty and was, actually, really already dead) to somewhere in the 1:3500 risk.

The view is good though and the home-from-home centre which they wouldn't let me use looked fab.I've heard fairly mixed things about Kings but I've only experience with the Dental Hospital part myself so can't really comment. Been going to King's and for now (DS still hasn't come out, 40+2 today!) Asked the MW there if I could have my MW appointment at somewhere more accessible by train / tube / at Tommies she said all patients coming from other boroughs all go to that health centre.I'm still not sure if I want to change hospital, partly because I've already had scan arranged, and appointment arranged with a consultant, don't know if I'd mess things up by switching hospital mid-wayargh... what should I do?

The rescan showed a .5mm difference (lower) in the nuchal fold measurement. I can't spell the profs name, I'll have a look on google! They were trying to determine if by having accurate measurements of the mother they could determine the baby's outcome, control them and from that information stop stillbirths.
