Had my 34 week mw appt today. Yet a different mw, grr. Anyway, I'm a bit concerned. We were joking about how often I'm at the hospital during pregnancy for extra scans/checks etc and said at least when I go into labour I'll easily know my way to l&d ward! She turned round and said, well, actually, l&d is closing for refurbishment for a while. I asked when and she said in a few weeks, and it will be closed for a few weeks. They'll have minimal deliveries in the private rooms on the maternity ward, everyone else has to go to a different hospital. Here's my concern, neither me or oh drive, the other hospitals, both are 2hours away, in opposite directions. Our main concern though, whilst they never were able to diagnose what happened to Joshua, we have a 50% chance of this baby needing high level nicu care at delivery. The other hospitals don't have a nicu. They have a basic scbu, but we need to be where my consultant, and Joshua's paediatric specialist are. I have no idea what to do if they're full and turn us away. I'm opting for a vbac this time. I was offered a c section at 38 weeks, but I really would do anything to avoid a repeat c section. Just scared about what we're going to do x
