Had both my babies at the JR. Both on the delivery suite, as i had Preeclampsia.Can't fault the care was excellent!
The John Radcliffe is fantastic, although maternity is very busy! The Horton is a lot quieter, providing you have a straight forward birth and no complications. Otherwise you'd need to be transferred to the JR Xx
i had my first in the delivery suite of the JR in 2021 and was happy with no complaints. i wanted to go spires for a water birth but due to bleeding i couldn't. with some complications at the end of the birth, it got scary but the staff were great and i cannot fault them. i just had my second and wanted it in spires so that if anything happened like my first labour, i was in a hospital. my midwife spoke to me about the local birthing unit the day i went into labour. i last minute decided to go there when labour hit and i am so glad. it was such an amazing experience and thankfully i didn't have the same issues with my first labour. i don't know what your first labour was like, what type of birth you want or what the birthing units around your area are like etc. but maybe worth looking into?

I had my baby in John Radcliffe Hospital, it was a good experience so I would definitely recommend it. (: x plus it’ll be easier for you to go a closer hospital
