Private Recovery Rooms?

[Nikkinoonoo]

I was given the epidural at 6.45AM and didnt have the section untill 11.52pm so that was rather a long time and by the time all the affects had worn off that I could move on my own it was too late. I am a big girl you see and I think the added weight contributed. I should have apparently been put on a special air flow matress or something so I Was told afterwards.

Oh I see. Yes you probably should have been put on a pressure matress but the hospital don't have matresses lying around you see. They have to order them from whoever they have a contract with which takes quite a few hours.

I think I'd be starstruck if I went to the portland as I watch portland babies on discovery health so much

Our local Hospital charges £30 per nite and £45 for en-suite for private rooms.
Sometimes given how labour or how section went you are given a private room.
Also your history may be taken into accout, because Taylor died i have been told ill be induced on delivery and kept there instead of on the labour ward for my own sanity and if there is a private room available i will given 1.

i hadnt thought about it before! i might call my hospital to check incase i do have to go in

 

[Jemma_x]

Ive spoke to my consultant about this and if you have a traumatic birth you are giving one but otherwise you can pay £20 a night

I wonder how much it costs to go private to have your baby in this country? Dont thin many of us do because the NHS is "just there"

*Off she scoots to investigate*

There is no private maternity hospitals in my region at all. The fooballers wives etc have to go far afield or make do with the local hospital and pay for a side room afterwards....if there's one available.

My friend was in a bed next to a footballers wife last year in Wythenshawe Hospital (can't remember who it was now) and she was demanding to be put in a side room and pay but there wasn't one free....it didn't matter what kind of a fuss she kicked up...if there was already people in the side rooms, there wasn't anything anyone could do for her was there???? silly cow....how thick can you get???

£3800 down here - believe me, I looked into it!

I'm prepared to pay for a private room as long as it's not more than about £80 per night. I'm REALLY not thrilled about the idea of sharing a room/toilet/washing facilities with lots of other women. Call me a snob, but some women are just nasty.

Ours charges £150 a night but again if you have a traumatic birth or c-section you get one for free. We looked at private pregnancy and delivery package at Mums in Solihull it worked out at close to £8,000

I wore crocs in the shower when I was in hospital. I didnt standing on a damp bathroom floor unsure of what made the puddle.... might be an idea xXx

I'm not sure if my mother's insurance covers private or semi-private.. I definitely couldn't imagine not having extended coverage and just having the standard ward accomodations though!! I think I may take private and pay the extra money though even if it's not covered just to have my own space.. I don't care if it costs $200, I think the expense is worth it to have my own bathroom and stuff.

 

[PeanutBean]

You ladies could all try home births, they're free and your own private space! lol

 

[sparkswillfly]

Id hadnt thought about sharing washing facilities.... some people are gross. I was more concerned with my OH having to leave me on the ward. If I want a private room I have to go without an epidural. I need to weigh up which is more important. Privacy and comfort or pain relief? I have no idea.

 

[clairebear]

mine charges a £100 per night i think it was. but i had one as i had tramatic birth. it would haev cost me £500 if i had to pay though.

Just check that you get your own en-suite with the private room. My hopsital charges £150 a night and the rooms don't all have their own en-suite, a couple have them, some are shared between a couple of private rooms and others don't have them at all - and you can't request which room you have.
