Hey! I was just wondering about the care at Caboolture Hospital and if any of you lovely mothers have birthed there and have any reviews ☺️
I’ve recently transferred there as I’m located North Brisbane and apparently all of their birth suites have a bath (water birth wanted🤞).
I am due any day now and starting to get a tad nervous because I’ve not had many appointments there…

I birthed there! I literally can’t tell you how amazing they were. I loved every part of my maternal care, birth and post birth on the ward. The staff there are just amazing. I can’t fault them AT ALL. Midwives, paediatricians, lactation consultants, endocrinologists, doctors, just amazing! I literally wouldn’t birth anywhere else

I didn’t birth there but my son was rushed to hospital a few months back and the care that he received was absolutely amazing! The staff there were all so gentle and caring and took their time to help settle my son when he was extremely unwell.

They are amazing! I birthed there and they were so quick to attended to me and bub when both of us ended up unconscious and me in particular haemorrhaging

I was born there can’t say I know anything as I gave birth to my daughter at Redcliffe,, Redcliffe- their social workers are great midwife’s while giving birth is a whole different story, but I have heard some bad things ab Caboolture recently

I birthed my first baby there as I wanted a water birth too. But the water ended up relaxing my body too much and slowing my labour down... It ended up being a 62hr labour and they refused to give me an epidural until the 55th hour. Because they allowed me to labour for so long my body was too exhausted to deliver my placenta and I had to have it manually removed in theatre and lost 2L blood. They are very very pro natural births with minimal intervention but this was actually not good for me as my labour was too slow to progress. My second baby I chose to have at Redcliffe hospital and it was the most blissful experience. I chose to get induced and they have me an epidural when I asked and I had a 6hr labour with no tears or blood loss. I've heard mostly good things about Caboolture too but I would please please advocate for yourself and speak up FIRMLY. The midwives got told off by the obstetrician for not giving me an epidural. The best private obstetrician in Brisbane said they failed me at Caboolture.
