AVOID BARNSLEY HOSPITAL
I honestly can't say a single positive thing about being under Barnsleys care!!
They've neglected mine and my babys care, not informed me of decisions they've been making such as they decided weeks ago I'd need to deliver early because my babys small. They told me today at 35 weeks that I'm going to be induced at Sheffield at 37 weeks...they've known since 30 weeks that this was their plan.
I've had repeated calls saying I've missed appointments at the hospital when I was never notified of these appointments with very accusatory calls saying how im costing them money by missing these appointments I was never told about. They checked their records and confirm they never sent a letter or a text and when I ask who was meant to do it the lady on the phone goes "oh I am in charge of that. I don't know why that didn't happen." It hasn't happened once, it's happened 3 times. But they have texted me about other appointments and not others.
I've been told for a while now that the baby might need surgery when she's born. The person today has told me they should have explained the surgery not just 'some surgery on her bowels'. I've now learnt today that could mean a stoma bag.
They judged me for having an appointment rescheduled for a Thursday when I couldn't make one on Wednesday and they themselves changed it to Thursday for me to go in and be told "you should have really come yesterday, the consultant doesn't work Thursdays" and been sent home.
There's bound to be more than this. I haven't a single good thing to say about how them and how they have cared for me and my baby. I'm being transferred to Sheffield with 2 weeks to spare not knowing if I need to be induced for certain (as I now need to speak to Sheffields team) or a date for this.
All I can say is wtf is going on with Barnsley?! They need to sort their shit out and stop neglecting mother and babys care!!!!
Their midwife team is awful. Tried to bully me into not having a home birth
