Anyone else under Rotherham Council?

[Criostin]

Is anyone else living in Sheffield, but covered under Rotherham Council? I'm just wondering because I have a choice of Bassetlaw or Rotherham Hospital to see my midwife. I'm just wondering to get any opinions or general word of mouth to see which is better. (Bassetlaw's closer to me, but I'm just curious as to which is better / has a better reputation.)

 

Cheers!

I live in Chesterfield and was given the choice of Bassetlaw or Calow. I told them neither because I wanted Rotherham! My daughter was born in Rotherham hospital and they were great with me which is why I chose Rotherham to have my son. I know of a couple of people who have had bad experiences with Bassetlaw, but every person is different, the choice is entirely up to you.

Thank you for that. Someone mentioned to me that they just added a new maternity ward at Rotherham, is that true?

I am near Dinnington (Sheffield address, Rotherham Council, Worksop Phone number)!

 

I was given the choice of Bassetlaw or Rotherham and chose Rotherham for a few reasons one being the distance for me, My husband wasnt really sure where Bassetlaw was (had visions of a nightmare journey in labour) lol. We wanted our son to be a Yorkshireman! I have had no bad reports on either hospital.

Same here (addy, phone, council), but we're not far from Dinnington, but I believe Worksop (which is where Bassetlaw is, is closer), however Worksop is classed as Nottinhgamshire... Will have to talk to DH about that...

I am actually at Laughton en le Morthen and the journey, through Thurcroft, Whiston was quicker then the A57 to Worksop. Although I was panicking at the Thurcroft Junction as I went into labour at teatime rush hour

 

Good luck whichever you decide to choose
