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

I was put down to be sterilised at the time of my c-section! It had never been discussed let alone me agree to it! Only by chance I picked up on it going through my forms! Shocking! I’ll never forgive them for the way they treated my mum before she died but I was assured their maternity section was better… it wasn’t!x

If it makes you feel any better, I had to give birth at Sheffield because the labor suite at Barnsley was ‘full’ the day I went into labour and I can’t fault the midwives at Sheffield at all. They were so lovely and the after care was brilliant - I’d think about having that as my hospital of choice if I was to have a second xx

it's fully your choice! you can decide to not go through with the induction, to give birth at a different hospital, etc. if you don't feel comfortable and cared for, don't force yourself to go there! x
