Is Stoke Mandeville ok??

I’m due to give birth at Stoke in Feb, but made the mistake of reading the hospital report as the maternity care is rated as ‘requires improvement’. It’s got me worried and I’m wondering if I can / should switch to another hospital. Has anyone else switched? Any good / bad experiences at Stoke M or Milton Keynes?

Had a great experience at Stoke Mandeville, couldn’t fault it at all. Had the best midwife with a safe delivery x

I did the exact same thing before I was due to give birth there last year but couldn’t fault them, I had a really good experience even though I had an emergency C-section!

We had a really positive birth experience when I gave birth to my daughter in August 2023. Our midwife was amazing and the birthing room we were in had the pool and everything else I needed 🙂

I gave birth there 11 weeks ago and couldn’t fault it, I had to have an emergency forceps delivery and the midwives and all the other professionals were incredibly kind and looked after us. X

Have had 2 births there 2023 and 2024 / had a great experience they were extremely reassuring and made sure I was comfortable at all times couldn’t fault them xx

Both my children born there 2019 and 2023. Couldnt of asked for better care. Would highly recommend. The midwifes are wonderful and my surgeon was a super star.

Same, I had 2 there and found Stoke overall great. I had my first in Watford instead (lived there at the time) and found that less good by comparison, both facilities and processes. Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone, that’s so great to hear XX

Myself & a friend have transferred there from Luton, 2 close friends had very good experiences last year at Stoke which swayed the decision for us
