Is anyone planning to give birth in a private hospital? I'm quite worried about maternity care on the NHS

I'm only 12 weeks pregnant currently. I've been doing a bit of research and looking at the prices of private hospitals that are relatively local, we wouldn't be able to afford it without going into debt. I've read some really worrying stuff about NHS maternity units. Here is one article from the Guardian that worried me. There's a lot of other stuff online as well, particularly on Mumsnet, that also concerns me. Would you definitely go private if you could afford it?
