Burnside Hospital - SA?

[Squiggles]

Hi everyone,

I'm posting like mad at the moment - I'm like a sponge soaking up all this great info and recomendations - well trying to anyway, preggo brain seems to have kicked in in full force!!

I have pretty much decided that Burnside hospital is my first choice, just wanted to hear from anyone who has had a child there and what their experiences were like.

Hi,

I haven't had a baby at Burnside, had mine at Ashford. My OB doesn't go to Burnside. Some of my friends have had babies at Burnside, it is meant to be very luxurious, some had problems with midwives and others didn't. I think they only take deliveries of babies after 36weeks, so if you go any earlier you would be transferred, but you may know that already.

The people I know had a mostly good experience there, good luck with your choice.

Hi there :)

Two of my closest friends delivered there and loved it! My SIL had her baby girl there as well last November - she couldnt have been more thrilled with the staff and services of the hospital....

I have booked in to have my bub there next January (:fingerscrossed: ) My Ob delivers there! I had the choice between Calvery and Burnside however after seeing both Maternity Sections of each hospital I decided on Burnside.....

I also like the fact that they have anetal classes there for a full day on a Saturday....Cant wait!!!

Sorry I cant be more help!

My sister was born there a few years ago and my stepmum couldn't have been happier. The rooms (suites) were luxurious... they didn't make a fuss because she wanted to bottle feed and the meals looked great!! (if i remember correctly they even offered premium beer) lol... probably the last thing you care about.

It was a really lovely place!!! No problems with having to leave early/staff etc...:thumbsup:

My girlfriend had her baby there a few weeks ago and couldn't speak highly enough of the hospital and the midwives. She was EXTREMELY happy.

Thanks everyone. I called and spoke to a really nice lady there last week and have arranged to go in and have a look. All sounds very nice, I'm excited about "checking it all out"

Thanks again! :thumbsup:

My sil had both her babies at the burnside hospital and she LOVED it!

It felt more like a hotel than a hospital which is always a good thing... she stayed the full 5 days both times because she didnt want to go home.. it was too nice :thumbsup:
