My missus gave birth to a baby girl on Monday morning,after a torrid 2 day's in labour.....finally giving birth in theatre,after a few complications.

The staff at Jessops were absolutely wonderful,and i simply can't thank them enough for what they did for us.

Any ladies going in Jessops to have their Baby/Babies.....
from my experience........................

You are very good hand's !

Both my kids born in Jessops. Nothing but whole hearted praise for all midwives and other staff involved. They really are caring professionals undertaking a difficult job. I do feel that going into hospital to give birth is a great leveller. The way some of the sheffield underclass speak to and treat the staff and systems leaves alot to be desired.

Same here

I had my son there is July 2003 and can't praise them highly enough. Its absoutely spotless in there too.

Nice one mr!
Congratulations and give my best wishes to your missus as well mate-- enjoy it!!

Aw how lovely! Congratulations!

I've always heard really good reports from people about Jessops - the staff there should be really proud.

Congratulations on your new arrival:clap: !!

And many thanks...it's always nice to hear good news about a place you'll be visiting soon enough. As well as complimenting the staff, you've made the patients-to-be slightly less stressed, too:)

Cosy:P

i've been to Jessops too, not the maternity part, (scary thought for me having kids!!). I went for, lets just say other womens things and they were so lovely, very kind and understanding - i didn't feel just like another patient. I will be sending a lovely thank-you card to them when my treatment is finished.

Keep up the good work all of you out there !!:clap:

I would like to echo what others have said about the staff on here.

After a long and tiring labour, my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby boy on Monday morning.

I cannot fault the staff with their professionalism and with making us both feel at ease.

They made the whole experience alot easier to cope with and very special. You deserve medals for your patience, dedication and hard work.

Thank you all so much. X

Congratulations to you and your lovely lady.:)

I too cannot speak highly enough of The Jessop Wing.

When my son was being born seven years ago, I felt I was in very safe hands and was made to feel very comfortable. (Thanks too to the epidural! :D)
I was looked after extremely well and recieved some very exceptional care from the Feto-maternal unit. (Heartfelt thanks to Dr Anumba and Julie)

i gave birth to my daughter in june last year after i had to be induced and the staff there was fantastic after i gave birth i had a epileptic fit which lasted 20 minutes i was told and one of the traniee midwife sat with me all night till her shift ended she was called kirsty lawson if i can remember the name right when my daughter wouldnt settle she was there to help and carm my daughter a big thank you to her

Congratulations to you & your wife on the birth of your baby girl.

The staff at Jessops are Brilliant i will second that they helped me & my ex partner through the toughest time of our lives when we lost our twin boys in September 2007 they bent over backwards to help us and i will always be greatful for th help & support that they gave us and the wonder care they gave when my youngest was born in March of last year they deserve all the praise in the world :)

i gave birth at jessops last october, we was under the impression that it was a normal labour, but the midwife noticed that my little girl was facing the wrong way and had her neck bent backwards. i couldnt stress enough that i didnt want a c-section, the same midwife stayed with me all the way through,and helped me deliver the first frontal baby she had seen born naturally in 20 years. we cant praise the place enough!

Congratulations...

I work for a company in Sheffield that manufacturers incubators and the like for neonatal wards and whilst we dont think local hosopitals buy enough, the staff are always exceptional at Jessops. We do most of trials there and know when I start a family I'll be very glad I live in Sheffield.

Tom

i had both my kids there 2 there are realy nice staff xx

Both my two sons born there in 2005 and 2009. I wouldn't wish the place on anybody and next time will seriously consider forking out for a private hospital. Yes the staff were nice enough, when we could find them after having to go look for them after no response to the call button.

Was it an emergency? Ever thought that some poor woman could be bleeding or an unborn baby was highly distressed, or staff were prepping someone for an emergency C-Section?
Afraid people have to wait their turn in order of proirity when the buzzer goes.

Ever though that when a baby is coming out you might want a midwife there?
Remember the couple that had to deliver their own baby in Jessops? That was nearly us last time round. There should be enough staff, and it was clearly understaffed when we last visited.

We had a brilliant experience at Jessops almost 2 years ago when our daughter was born.

my son was born there 14 weeks early! weighing 2lb, he was very ill to say the least, he was in intensive care for 3 months, in total he was in jessops neonatal unit for 9 months before he was well enough to come home.
the nurses and staff at the jessops was bloody fantastic and i cannot thank em enough for saving my babys life! he is 7 now and what a great kid he is too, words cannot express the respect, gratitude and love i have for the jessops staff, absolutely fantastic!

i had great difficulty conceiving, and went through rigourous tests/research at the assisted conception unit at jessops, after many attempts and getting pregnant 4 times only to miscarry all 4 babies, i eventually had my son 3 and a half yrs ago. it has been a very long and hard 7 yrs, but each and every member of staff from consultants to deomestic staff at jessops made me feel like i mattered, they are all truly worth every pound of their wages. the support they offered was amazing and i wouldn't have got through without them. xxx

I've had 3 children at Jessops and each time the staff have been great. Sometimes on the pre/post labour ward they are a little rushed and don't have as much time as they would like for you but on the labour ward I have always had 1 to 1 care, excellent care too. My latest delivery (last August) resulted in my baby needing special care treatment and that care was fantastic.

I was born at Jessops hospital nearly 60yrs ago, and its still a fantastic hospital as it was all those years ago. Both my children were born there, 28yrs ago and 31 yrs ago the nursing care is second to none.

This is a lovely topic to read, i am a ward assistant at the jessop wing obviously working with midwifes, drs and everyone else, The midwifes work so hard and are really stretched to the limit and are under so much pressure so im sure they would really appreciate reading all your lovely posts, and realise that their work is greatly appreciated!

They are very hard working and under-staffed and can only do their best!

Will pass on the praise from you all as im sure they would love to hear some of the nice things that are said about them :)

I agree! My experience at the Jessops was truly horrific and i would never consider going back there to have another child. i wouldn't reccomend to anyone!

i know of a baby born there, 3 months premature, in intensive care that was wrongly given breastmilk meant for another baby. how they got the parents breast milk mixed up i dont know, luckily there were no after complications (that i know of)

Like I said in my previous post, they deserve medals. At no fault of their own, they are short staffed, but they get on with it and make the best of what they have.

I know that it sounds scary, but being given someone else's breast milk isn't like being given the wrong blood transfusion. When I had my babies (many years ago!) nursing mums with lots of breast milk used to be able to donate their surplus to the SCBU for prem babies.

When I had my babies (many years ago!) nursing mums with lots of breast milk used to be able to donate their surplus to the SCBU for prem babies.i know what you mean, its just the thought of aids,hepatitis & the likes, i wouldnt have liked to have my kids been put in that situation in what was a supposed strictly controlled environment. needless to say i still think most staff do a great job under very trying circumstances

yeah i agree with first post for sure, my son ellis was born there 8 years ago, had a very rare condition, he was in intensive care for the 5 days he was alive, he died in scbu with me the nurses and his family around him, the nurse who was taking most care of him cried with us when the surgeon didnt want to operate and we decided to let him go, she even came to give him a kiss before she left that night, knowing she wouldnt see him again, he died about 10 mins after but all i can say is the staff, midwives, doctors, nurses everyone will always be in my heart, they tried their best for me and my boy, but sadly it wasnt to be.....when i fell pregnant with my 2nd, my girl, the staff made sure i had monthly scans, took real good care of me, had me in for appiontments just to talk about how i was feeling etc and where never too busy to listen to me being scared something was wrong again, as she was due on the same date my son was buried, they induced me a week early, it took ages to work and she was born the day before the date we were avoiding, they were amazing, understanding and very helpful, when i did finally go into labour, the midwife on at that time was the one who had delivered ellis, they took the time to come to me, very nicely and lovely, to ask if i minded that she may deliver my next child, i said i didnt, i ended up giving birth after she went home though, they gave my baby girl scans on her heart and brain the minute she was born to reasure me she was ok, they treat me the same when i had my 3rd child, only this last one my 4th they said i was ok not to be monitered as id given birth to two other healthy children, even so whhile in labour with him, they ask about my first and speak to me about it

sorry for going on but these people have been a big part of my life, through the most horrific to the happiest ones. this is why too i want to be a midwife as if i can help someone like they have me, then that can only be a good thing and an honour

i know what you mean, its just the thought of aids,hepatitis & the likes, i wouldnt have liked to have my kids been put in that situation in what was a supposed strictly controlled environment. needless to say i still think most staff do a great job under very trying circumstances

Yes, I know what your worries are, and I seem to recall that you had to be tested for Aids etc if you wanted to donate so I think the potential for passing on something is a risk but thankfully rare. :)

sorry just edited most of that there:hihi:

and yes thanks for that hun:)

i suppose yes mistakes can happen and being honest i would have been very upset myself if that had happened to me

i suppose yes mistakes can happen and being honest i would have been very upset myself if that had happened to methey wouldnt be human if they didnt make mistakes, as the saying goes, no-one is perfect, i think cos lives are involved you get to hear about it more. you can have the best equipment in the world & the best staff but they'll still make a mistake somewhere. its rare we get to hear about the countless lives they do save with there expertise which happens on a daily basis

yeah exactly, i can understand both side really, id be very upset as the parent and also if i was the person who made the mistake:( its like everything these days, the mistakes however minor are the ones that get talked about, when they do amazing things every day, every minute and thats what goes unseen

Well, July last year I went through the scariest time of my best friends life with her when she went into labour and ended up having an emergency csection. It wasnt until she was put into HDU, and her baby in SCBU that anyone realised what was happening. The wonderful people who work within our trust, managed to spot the new babies disability, which her mother has, and passed onto her (and her maternal grandmother also who passed it to my friend!). It hadnt ever been picked up until she was born, and the staff did everything they could. They saved her life. She still is tube fed, at 8 months old. She is still in and out of hospital every week. The staff were amazing, even when a doctor was breaking it to my friend, who wasnt totally with it after the op, very drowsy, hooked up to a million and one machines, that she was disabled and her daughter was, they managed to keep the situation very calm, and dignified. My friends life went from being a pregnant mother, awaiting the arrival of her 3rd child to having a disability for 29yrs, her daughters life was [still is] at risk and she had noone with her but me. How the staff managed to put up with my friend, is brilliant. Every day, those nurses/midwifes/doctors all cared for those babies, and friends baby, with the greatest of care. It becomes a second-home for parents with long term ill babies. And to me, its a comfy, relaxing and well caring place with amazing staff. With my own experiences, they've been nothing but brilliant. I've never gone there and felt it to be a bad place, even after the worst event of my life, I still look back at jessops and smile.

that monday night channel 4 programme "one born every minute" is a great insight into midwifery & what exactly happens on a maternity ward, i think it was last week where they practically dragged a baby from the womb cos they knew summat was wrong & as they were gettin the baby out you could see the umbilical cord round the babies neck, within seconds they'd got the baby breathing properly, youve certainly got to have some nerve to do such a job & stay calm

yeah hun i watch it every week, im such a sap and sob my eyes out every week:hihi:even though ive given birth 4 times i still find it amazing everytime i see it....this is the job im dying to do, im now 29 so need to get cracking, ive applied for my access course, just awaiting interview, have to pass that before i can even think of applying for midwifery course.

I know id love it, wake up most day looking forward to work, to know that im making a difference to someones life, i just hope i can get there, but all i can do is try, i need to pass the interview for the health science course first:confused:

yes gina love, they are wonderful, as you say even when they have to break bad news to someone they keep it very calm and dignified, they took my and the babys father into a room with sofas, which was very dimly lit, like a living room really, and sat down and explained everything, showed me scans and xrays etc, made me see it was better to let my boy go then let him suffer as he was, even to this day id dont regret that decision and i know they were right to advice me to do so.....i still even 8 years on want to go back and see them, maybe send a card for all they did for me and my family at that time

and gina i love thatlast bit, i still look back at jessops and smile, and you know what love me, too, ive suffered the worst loss i can every imagine in that place, yet ive also been given 3 more little bundles to love and care for there too, i cant say anything bad about the place exept one horrid clever mouthed midwife i encountered the first time round, but that isnt the hospital was just probably someone in the wrong job
and your friend is very brave bless her:)

lol cheeky, i didnt have them all in one go ya know lol, it was over 9 years :loopy::D

you always get the odd nurse/midwife thats like hitler, theyre proper old school matrons lol they may sound abrupt at times but there nursing/midwifery skills are second to none

haha yeah well she was old ill say that, and her skills wernt that good coz she sent me home twice only for my community midwife to call the ward up shouting at them that i was being sent in by her regardless of what the old scrote said haha, bless her she was fantasic my own midwife, she was oldest too and retired soon after but my days even with her sometimes being old fashioned she was the best ever

ive heard a few things the same like that, people doing into midwifery then leaving and doing nursing instead, but who knows hey, i can trylol you'll tell me owt:hihi: seriously i hope your course goes well, personally i think midwifes are a lot better when they have children of their own, they know what youre going through whereas those midwifes that dont have children tend to be a bit more abrupt, its the same with the family health visitor, weve had a great woman (who'd got kids) & a not so good one who'd got no kids yet they start dictating this is best that is best etc. i think as a parent only you knows whats best for your child after the 1st few months

haha yeah well she was old ill say that, and her skills wernt that good coz she sent me home twice only for my community midwife to call the ward up shouting at them that i was being sent in by her regardless of what the old scrote said haha, bless her she was fantasic my own midwife, she was oldest too and retired soon after but my days even with her sometimes being old fashioned she was the best everthats exactly what i mean, 1 maybe a bad hitler yet the other a good hitler, theyre old school midwifes who know whats good for you. we were very lucky, easy pregnancy,births etc just wernt impressed with 1 of the health visitors in my previous post but we still dint hold it against her although a few mams did & stopped her doing home visits

Thats nice :) I cant imagine what you went through to be honest, I know your story (to a point obv) and ive never been through anything like that. Big hugs xxx



Showing your age there mh! School 'matrons'.... :help:oi! you should know better, im not sure when they phased matrons out but i remember them on the carry on films lol

and yeah agreed there ginadont you dare agree with gina about my age & matrons or i wont be buying you that tv for your bedroom;)

lol you'll tell me owt:hihi: seriously i hope your course goes well, personally i think midwifes are a lot better when they have children of their own, they know what youre going through whereas those midwifes that dont have children tend to be a bit more abrupt, its the same with the family health visitor, weve had a great woman (who'd got kids) & a not so good one who'd got no kids yet they start dictating this is best that is best etc. i think as a parent only you knows whats best for your child after the 1st few months

thanks that if i get a place:confused: and yes i agree there, i feel ill have something to give on both side, ive seen the bad and good parts of birth, i feel i have alot of knowledge and things to give in that area, bad or good....
i know when my son died i would have felt lots better to talk to a doctor or midwife who personally knew my pain if you get me, not that id wish it on anyone, but all you think at a time like that when they say things to you, yo just think whatever how would you ever know or understand really?:rant:

i do agree on all your piont, health visitors and midwifes, not that im saying the ones without kida arnt good, but ive personally found myself more drawn to the ones who understand more as theyve been there

one first health visitor was like that, all from a text book-no kids-didnt work
2nd one, had kids, did it all from experiance and always trusted my instincts as mother and told me to go with them as only a parent really knows thier child

dont you dare agree with gina about my age & matrons or i wont be buying you that tv for your bedroom;)

2nd one, had kids, did it all from experiance and always trusted my instincts as mother and told me to go with them as only a parent really knows thier childi think the majority of healthworkers rely too much on their textbooks & going by the book rules instead of using common sense, you know your child best so do it your way but if ever youre stuck then ask them for advice, if you get a good healthworker theyve usually left you alone within 6 weeks because they know youre a good mother & know what youre doing

gutted:(:mad::mad::mad:however, if you talk nice to me :heyhey::love:;)

oi! you should know better, im not sure when they phased matrons out but i remember them on the carry on films lol

Sorry, Sir :love:! Carry-on films, proper showing your age now! :hihi:

yes too right, agree wholeheartedly, i hate the ones that try and interfear too much, last one was telling me when to wean, and aout breastfeeding n stuff n i was like i know, sorry but you can stop there i dont need to hear it all, ive done it a few times before:confused: i was just thinking oh my days im too tired to hear what i already know.

she didnt agree with some things as they were not from the text book so to speak, but i just told her, i will do the same as i did with my other kids, they are healthy, i will do what ive always done regardless of what new things the new book says. end of, she didnt push:hihi:

both mine were on solids at 6week, they were on step up milk from being born, proper eaters mine, they couldnt get enough:hihi:

yeah my little girl on solid at 4 months as recomended, my 2nd boy goerge was on hungry milk about a month old, at 6 weeks drinking a full 9oz or hungry milk, and still screaming, put him on solid at 3 months old, they told me to not feed him, cut his milk down and let him cry:loopy: i was like way am i doing that to him, hes screaming, anyway i did what my instincts told me too and put him on solids, hes was fine from then on

so this is why i was telling this health visitor ill do as i before if need be, as she was telling me they had changed it to 6 months now, i said if he can last that long yes, but if i feel at any stage before he needs solids i will give them to him, shes wasnt impressed so to speak, but i told her my other kids fine, and so will this one, i know best im his mum end of, like i said she gave up :hihi:
anyways bed time for me, shattered n school run tomorrow
