       Jimenez Diaz Moncloa

       My son was born at the Jimenez Diaz hospital in Moncloa and
       overall I had a good experience. My midwife was amazing and very
       pro-natural birth. She encouraged me to hold off on the epidural
       until I was almost fully dilated, I received a semi-epidural in
       the end and could still move. There was no gas and air, but I
       did get injected with something (I forget what) which worked as
       a mild pain killer long before the epidural.
       I went to give birth at the end of 2013 and was told that in
       2014, there would be a birth pool available for water births.
       The hospital food was very good and when I had trouble with
       breastfeeding the advice and help was very genuine and decent.
       One downside was that I was not allowed to drink any water
       during labour (torture) and when I ended up having an emergency
       c-section my husband was not allowed into the operating theatre.
