Never considering bri again after they refused to believe my waters had broke over the phone after checking me and knowing I was in labor just bc “it happened quick” waited in the waiting room for 10 hours and advised to go home bc no beds available. Ended up having baby on my own bed and called the Ambulance.
i had my daughter at bri i’ve had no complaints from there
I heard too many horror stories about BRI too. I opted for Leeds for my first and again for this pregnancy. X
Had my first baby at BRI... had my second at Calderdale. Couldn't pay me to have a baby at BRI after my first 😮💨
Yes. I had my first at BRI and decided to have my 2nd Airedale. It was such a better experience. The postnatal ward at BRI was just depressing, with no care
I had my little boy at BRI, I don't think I'll go back if I have another. Waters broke, I got sent home because I wasn't dilated. Went back the next morning to be induced, ended up with sepsis.
Glad to know I’m not the only one girls! My reasoning was my sister in law had a baby at BRI last august and they accidentally doubled her induction medication because they didn’t look at her chart which led to an awful emergency c-section with baby nearly not making it! And the aftercare was shocking… discharged the same day!
@Shelby Rebecca Tolhurst that is shocking! I hope they’re both ok! X
They are Thankyou!
I'm birthing at CRH. Haven't had any negative experience with BRI - they actually seem quite good with the new renovations and changes - but heard stories from before and I was registered at CRH first anyway so sticking to it.
@Reema CRH was amazing for me! I had an elective section after having a horrible emergency at BRI in 2021. The care throughout my entire stay at CRH was fantastic the midwives were so caring.. my little boy ended up being admitted to SCBU right after delivery and they arranged for me to go into a private room as baby wasn't with me when I went back up to the ward which did wonders for my mental health not having to be with other babies. They constantly checked on me throughout my stay and had no issue ringing SCBU for updates on my son whenever I asked until I was able to visit him myself. Honestly have nothing negative to say about the staff and the hospital 😊 xx
@Leigh Nicole Oooh that's good to know about CRH! I'm sorry you had such a shitty experience at BRI though.
I had my baby at BRI and the birth centre staff and then the transitional care unit staff were amazing. Can’t fault them. I had heard stories about BRI but decided to have my own experience.. I also heard stories about LGI and Airedale (bad and good). A bad experience can happen anywhere unfortunately, but a good experience can also happen anywhere x
I HATE Bri, they almost killed 3rd my baby But I was supposed to have my 2nd at LGI, I was WAAAY overdue (he was due October and wasnt born until mid November) and they had me waiting on induction ward for over a week. One evening I went to midwife and told her I was having him. She didnt believe me as I had no physical signs of labour and told me Id be waiting another week before I had him. I rung BRI and they told me to transfer. Ward staff at LGI told me I couldnt transfer that late as it wasnt safe but also refused to believe me I was having him. Bradford staff told them over the phone to transfer me to them. Leeds made me wait for a psychiatrist before letting me transfer. They literally made out I was being insane. Once I got to Bradford I went into labour. My full labour was 23 minutes. If Id have stayed at LGI Id have had him in a room with 5 other women and their partners.

Also my 3rd baby was born in August so it was very recent. They completely ignored a blood test result from May, and left her for 12 hours after birth (in which I kept telling them she was unresponsive and not feeding - they kept blaming it on me having pethadine saying it makes the baby sleepy even though I didnt have pethadine!) instead of sending her straight to NICU which led to my baby being hours at best from death, then minutes after I was told my baby was dying put me in a room on the normal ward with other women and their babies. Thankfully the NICU staff were amazing and my daughter is now fine, just very tiny. Then to top it off week later their neglect killed my nephew. Im genuinely traumatised by what happened, theyve offered no support for me or my husband weve just been left to deal with the trauma. I cant even speak about what happened because its distressing.
HORRIBLE. Do not have your baby there 😭😭😭😭
I opted for LGI as it was the hospital my mum was a midwife at for over 30 years. Great experience from induction to delivery and postnatal xx
