I THINK a petition should be done to stop Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, from closing.

Where else are we to go?

I was born there, and so were my two children. My baby girl is now 14 weeks old.

When I was pregnant I received the most brilliant care, even when there were worries my baby was going to be disabled.

When I went into labour the midwifes were absolutely brilliant and I couldn't fault any of them.

They were all busy, but they still had time to attend to me.

At one point I nearly lost my unborn child and if it were not for the A&E and the staff my son would not be here today.

Then when my newest arrival became ill at 10 weeks old with severe bronchitis, I was always told what was going on and they took care of my baby.

I bet more than half of the people in this borough were born in the hospital.
