Wythenshawe visit

Anyone who’s given birth at Wythenshawe hospital - do you go in to look around the birth centre at all before giving birth? Just wondered if this is a thing or if you literally just go on the day haha

There is a video tour on YouTube, if you go on the antenatal flyer from MFT it has video tours of all the hospital birthing units x

Im 30 weeks and I ok give birth in Wythenshawe too. I don’t think they show you around before giving birth but I found the video somewhere with a tour of the maternity ward and where you ll give birth 😉

Sadly no but as Hannah said there's a YouTube tour x

I gave birth at Wythenshawe 3 weeks ago and just watched the video on YouTube beforehand. Really lovely rooms; very private and they have most of what you need.

I highly recommend checking out the parking and entrance beforehand. We struggled to find the right door and buzzer at 5am when my waters broke and we headed to triage!

Gave birth on Saturday at wythenshawe at the birth centre and as everyone said above we just watched the video beforehand- it’s amazing in there though, lights were dimmed and bath was running once I got in there and it was like a spa experience lol! Fab midwives too xx

I gave birth there in March but couldn’t visit beforehand - the birth centre is absolute beautiful though!x

I’ve heard they only have 5 rooms in the birthing centre - does anyone know what happens if they’re all full?

@Sarah my midwife told me you just go on the normal labour ward which is just across the hall x

I had my little girl on the labour ward (waters broke early) and there’s one room with a pool there too! They can bring whatever you need to labour ward, I had a birthing ball and the midwives were amazing xx

@Rachael yes we had this too! Had to call them in the end to tell us the right door 😂

If you ask they will show you a room if it’s empty :)
