The entire reason I had my baby at Lewisham was that I was made to feel I had no other choice. (Thank you Roz for saying you wish never to set foot in Lewisham again--I would write out the entire story but it is so awfull and not needed here)

When I found out I was pregnant, I went down to my local GP to register with the midwives. I had no firm opinions on either Lewisham or Kings at this time. During the registration process I said to the midwife "Oh, I guess I will have my baby at Lewisham or Kings, I haven't decided yet" At this, the midwife put down her pen, sighed, and said, "But we are the midwifes for Lewisham! Which hospital do you want?! You will have to make an appointment with your GP in order to get a referral to Kings if this is what you want!"

At this point I was one month pregnant and had not visited either hospital yet. I should have taken it as a sign, but stupidly I said, "Umm, OK, Lewisham then." (First baby--I was naive)

Choice on where to give birth--I wish I could write b*****ks!
