Campbelltown Hospital

My review is specific to the birthing unit and maternity wards...

YOU STAFF ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!

I had only moved to Sydney under a yr ago and when i fell pregnant, i hadnt heard good things about Campbelltown hospital at all. In fact i was so anxious and scared that i said to myself that i will hang around the Eastern suburbs when i fall into labour so i can end up at one of those hospitals instead. I was petrified after hearing horror stories.

My antenatals started between Camden and Campbelltown hospitals and much to my suprise, they have been going good... i thought maybe the nice ones r only within the antenatal clinics lol.

Anyway when i hit 41 weeks at high risk due to medical reasons that came about suddenly, i was freaking out to the max but from the moment i arrived at the hospital, the care and support was absolutely amazing!!! I cannot fault a single thing. They genuinely cared for me, baby and my husband from the minute we walked in. I was stunned amazed and ever so greatful.

Im still in the maternity ward as i write this review as i couldnt wait to show my gratitude to these wonderful midwives, doctors, nurses and paediatric VMO's etc.

You guys showed a lot more love than what i experienced at 3 different hospitals in Melb for my other kids.

Your efforts are truly madly deeply appreciated and i will be back if we decide on more kids in the future ;)

Very pathetic, poor service. Infact zero.
I have been to birthing unit last Saturday.
Have been assessed and was left with the choice of either walk, stroll or breathing techniques. After 3 hours of ignorance my husband and I decided to talk to a midwife. She mentioned it's very early stage of labour and they can't do much and m free to go home n ring them back. I asked her when should we come back? She defined the high intense pain as ; 3 or 4 strong contractions within 10 minutes; I did mentioned that what I was having at that time. But again they couldn't keep me under observations. So we finally left the hospital.
We reached home around 7.45pm and my baby girl was born at 9.30pm at home in my bathroom.
Such a horrible service at the birthing unit. This unit should be where women needs the priority and proper care.
