Anyone birthing at Oldham and have had a really bad experience with getting hold of anyone on all numbers provided. I’m trying to chase up bloods and urine results after they left me with an infection for a month without contacting me, I’ve not had any updates or appointments since my last visit and I’m 35 weeks and been told I need more scans, I’ve not seen a midwife since 28 weeks and I have a few questions and not seen my consultant since 31 weeks but baby weight has dropped slightly and he wanted another growth scan but can’t seem to get through to anyone on numbers provided. I’m also high risk

I would complain and ring is it PALS or something they take them seriously. Oldham hospital is a joke they pressured me into getting induced and said things like oh I know x who went over41 weeks and her bay died etc in a bid to convince me to get induced and laughed when I said induction results mainly in csection and guess what happened. Exactly that. The aftercare was absolutely horrendous to the point I bawled my eyes out crying begging for help (couldn’t move my legs) they just didn’t care. My next one I’ll prob go for Manchester. Ring every single number on the app and if they say it’s the wrong number say I’m fed up of not getting though! If anything happens to me I’m gonna hold you liable and watch them change their tune! Good luck and hope all is well x

All else fails March into triage hun! I moved here otherwise wouldn’t have just randomly chosen this hospital. Such a nightmare but if anything I felt more looked after pregnant then post partum 😭

It’s a nightmare, been trying for a week to get in touch with someone and can’t get through to anyone. I’m considering just turning up at this point 😭

Maternity triage - contact them asap or go directly to them. I’ve contacted them on the numbers they’d given but it would take a day or two. If it’s a mobile, send a text explaining the urgency. But would recommend maternity triage asap. I had to be induced at 35 weeks due to an infection and had an emergency c section. Please contact or attend maternity triage unit. In Oldham hospital - it’s the first floor and F2 or F1 if I recall correctly. Within first 15 mins - a midwife/nurse calls you in to have a check.
Contacted pals and now there taking me serious. I think that’s the best way forward with Oldham if anyone having trouble with there care

I’m 9 days post partum and have had so many issues with the community midwives. I was told to call triage and explain what the issue is and they will escalate.
