Maternity Units/Hospitals in Brittany

Recommended Posts

Hi

I am new to this forum, so apologies if this information is sitting elsewhere!

As a student midwife, I am toying with the idea of spending my elective placement at the end of the 2nd yr (next summer), at a maternity hosp in Brittany.

Is there anyone who can suggest such a hospital - my house is entre Mt St Michel, Fougres and Rennes.

I would also appreciate any comments of experiences of maternity care and labour experiences in France. (I am already really surprised you don't get access to NOO2 - nitrous oxide/oxygen) ... what would be the various "levels" of pain relief, from the least to the greatest?

thanks in advance
Michle

The last time we were in Brittany 18 months ago, local tv was complaining bitterly about maternity units being closed in the region. I don't know whether this was negociated and some remained open. The main towns were keeping theirs though, so I would hope that Rennes at least would have a unit.

All those years ago, I was offered no pain relief whatsoever and my friend who had her kids recently wasn't either.
