and then the next closest is 5.5 miles away which is quite far when you dont drive.

not sure what to do ......?

Don't blame you for not want North Mid!! Which hospital is your other choice??

whittington or barnet general.... both 5 n half miles from me... any experience?

No personal experience, but professionally i thought The Whittington was good.

Check out the NHS website: http://www.nhs.uk/Services/hospitals...EQ4&st=SRV0058

the Whittington gets good reviews and you can compare to Barnet as well.

The other thing you could do is maybe pop into the 3rd tri group and ask if anyone has received ante natal care there or Barnet and see if you can get any feedback.

The US is so different!! I go to a hospital that is 45 minutes from my house, where I had my son was 1.5 hours from my house. Just because my health insurance pays the most for those places. But everything is so confidental they don't want you even close to the app desk when people are talking cause you might overhear.

wow that sounds terrible!! i would definitely want to change if i were you, if only for peace of mind as now you will not feel comfortable in their care even if it goes swimmingly from here.
