"Fantastic maternity care"

I gave birth by elective c-section at the Royal Free in December 2023 and can’t recommend the hospital enough. The pre-natal care was exceptional, with no expense spared to test and scan, even if just for reassurance. I had anxiety during my pregnancy so the hospital provided over ten sessions of talking therapy, which made my pregnancy so much more enjoyable and peaceful. I also received additional scans in the second and third trimesters for reassurance. That made a world of a difference to me.

The birth was a pleasant and relaxing experience, from the interaction with the wonderful midwifery team to the excellent and friendly surgeons, who ensured we were informed of everything they were doing and able to participate to the fullest.

I spent two nights in hospital after giving birth and found the entire stay excellent. I know the NHS is (rightly) berated for many shortcomings, but pre, natal and post natal services at the Royal Free can’t be faulted.

Thank you!

(I even liked the food on the ward)
