Hospital del Mar
Based in Barceloneta, this is a popular choice for Maternity care. It also has a highly respected children´s A&E department
Hospital del Mar, Pg Maritim 25-29, 932211010Comments:
"I have nothing but praise for the team at Hospital del Mar. I
had difficult pregnancies before Moira and long stays in hospital....and they actually
saved my life on one occasion - dramatic but true. The head of Obstetrics
there, Dr Toni Payà is quite simply the nicest, most caring doctor I have ever
met anywhere - and Elinor wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. We had
fertility treatment with the team headed by Dr Checa, and although unpleasant,
their success rate is amazing" (JM)Recommended by Jessica Mackay

Hospital de La Maternitat
The Maternity Hospital is more sympathetic to women who would prefer to opt for a natural birth
Hospital Casa Maternidad, Calle Sabino Arana 1, 932275600Comments "Sarah was born at the Maternitat hospital and although I had an episiotomy and she was pulled out with forceps in the end, we felt happy with how we were treated. It was pretty slow and they didn't rush us into doing anything we didn't want: my plan to have a 'natural birth' didn't quite work out, but it was our decision to have the epidural in the end rather than the hospital staff. We paid about 80 euros for a room to ourselves which was worth every cent as Phil, Sarah's dad, could stay quite comfortably on a sofa bed rather than on the floor. There's not always one free but it's worth asking when you first arrive at the hospital. The only thing that I wasn't too happy with was the conflicting advice on breastfeeding and staff didn't really have time to help too much. If we have another one I'd be happy to have it here, either at home or the Maternitat again." (ER)

Clinica Sagrada Familia
Private clinic in the centre of Barcelona. Used by Sanitas, Mapfre, Winterthur health insurance companies.
Calle Torras y Pujalt, 11, 932122300Comments:
"My experience was perfect. Especially if you know that in Holland women give birth the natural way, without any pain killers, at home.Of course this also depends on your insurance. I would recommend every woman who wants to have kids or already has them, to take a private insurance, for yourself and the baby. There are many specialists and hardly any waiting lists" (IV)Recommended by Isabelle Vaningen

"I had gone through an IVF treatment with negative results and I was anguished and nervous. Now after a frozen embryo transfer I am 12 weeks pregnant! The acupuncture treatments and the recommended exercises helped me to relax and to become conscious of my body. I recommend the Programa de Fertilidad Natural because I think it is a very important complement to the IVF treatments to compensate for the negative effects and alleviate the tension that it entails" (C.B., Sant Cugat)
"I came to the Programa de Fertilidad Natural because I was looking for a non-aggressive natural alternative for infertility treatment. I did not want to take hormones or medications and my gynecologist wanted me to take medication to help me ovulate. The treatments with Brooke and Ferran were great. I was able to relax and prepare my body. In five months I was pregnant I recommend the program for other women and couples. This week I am ready to give birth and I am very happy!" (V.G., Cerdanyola del Valles)
