Private Birth options in London

[Simonsgirl]

Does anyone know what the average cost of having a private birth is in the UK? I am in London and want to go private for a variety of reasons but have found out that unlike Ireland, private health insurance pays nothing toward this. Is there a semi private option or can you just book to have delivery and post natal care privately and attend NHS ante natal appointments?

for a natural birth your looking around £11,000 for full private antenatal care including hospital stays and tests if you use an OB its about £6,500 for the full services of a independant midwife, you can pay your way into private wings of hospitals for postnatal care. id look up your local independant MW and get a quote and search for a local OB too.
