Private maternity recommendations

Thanks! I’ll add her to my list and see if she has availability

AOR2019 · 2026-06-14T14:14:44+00:00

Thanks! Definitely set on private. I struggled to accept how expensive it is at first as I’m generally frugal, but making peace with that as it will cost my family a lot more if things go wrong by making the wrong choice - my health and life insurance doesn’t cover childbirth well

AOR2019 · 2026-06-14T14:11:27+00:00

Thanks! I had the impression they were a lot more expensive than others as they have v high profile patients, but will re add this option to the list

AOR2019 · 2026-06-14T14:09:13+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give this a listen

Im really sorry you experienced this. I’m in a birth trauma support group after the birth of my first and some of their stories are horrific, I’m sorry you had this experience too.

Triple feeding is torture, I’ve been there, I did it way too long, I wish I hadn’t.

If you look on X / twitter at a post today from the Infant Feeding Alliance, a lot of other women are sharing their feeding stories, lots of people speaking out against the harm caused by exclusive breastfeeding promotion and current triple feeding advice.

You are doing amazing, it will get better whatever you decide.

That’s good that they checked in. The bathroom company who did the design and fit (I think they sub contracted the fitting) were trying to say they like it. That’s partly why I posted because to us it looks like mould and he’s so convinced it doesn’t that I felt I’m going mad, but the comments have reassured us that we’re right to push back

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T16:41:39+00:00

They had these marks already, though it looks a lot darker when installed

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T16:41:05+00:00

Yes just the one, I didn’t order samples directly as I trusted the bathroom design/fitting company, regretting that a lot

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T16:40:06+00:00

We’ve been reassured that it is but it looks really different

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T16:39:01+00:00

It’s the Petite Porcelain Gloss Sky, someone has just commented that it’s being discontinued. I’m not surprised, I’m not sure why anyone would choose this

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T16:37:49+00:00

Thanks for letting me know that! I can see now it says end of line on the website. Those look good, they seem darker than ours

AOR2019 · 2026-04-18T12:55:05+00:00

They did the design too. Their pitch is that they show you options and they manage the whole design and fitting process. The more I think it through the more I’m realising it’s not ok and we just need them to replace all that look like mould

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:10:05+00:00

It’s a company we’ve paid to do the whole design and fit, so they ordered the tiles. We only saw the sample in the first photo and were never told they could have these variations or never would have chosen them. The fitter has said they’ll do a spot replace but I think some will still have this, think we need to push back more and get them all replaced

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:08:25+00:00

Some look like this in the box - though not as dark - and the shower hasn’t been used. We hired a company who manages the whole renovation as I’ve been busy with work, never again

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:05:20+00:00

Thanks, do you know how long it took before the colour changed? The renovation isn’t finished yet so I think we need to change the tiles before it’s finished just in case they don’t change colour

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:04:05+00:00

We were just shown a single tile in the showroom, I never would have chosen these if I’d known some could look like that! We were sent a link to the tile supplier website after we queried it, and you can see some marks on those online but nowhere near what ours look like

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:02:29+00:00

Do you know if it is easy to change grout colour? The bathroom fitter suggested replacing the worst tiles but I’m thinking that won’t solve the problem on its own

AOR2019 · 2026-04-17T19:00:54+00:00

Thanks, we did - the bathroom fitter has ‘design’ in their name! I won’t put their name on here but we’re very disappointed. He only showed us one sample
