I almost gave birth at thames but was transfered to waikato after 20hours due to complications.
The time I was there was awesome though. It was xmas day so no one else was there so i could wander up and down the halls.

Yay a question I can answer. I was born at Thames hospital....okay and I have some more recent experience.

There is currently a birthing unit in the planning pipe line which will provide a birthing facility which will be separate from the hospital. But this is still in the very early stages ie still on paper but watch this space..

What they currently have??

I gave birth at Waikato Hospital stayed 3 nights and then transferred to Thames Hospital for 2 nights. I WISH I had transferred earlier. There were 22 women in the ward at Waikato and I was the only person at Thames for the two days I was there.... so I got one on one care... I needed help latching at 2am... BANG midwife there in 30 seconds.... They were FANTASTIC. The rooms were done up I would guess around 5 years ago. I had a massive 'single' bed and DH was allowed to stay. They offered a mattress or said that may DH's sleep in the bed which was nice. They had everything in the room you could think of including a couch and a TV.

The facilities for birthing there... well I can only tell you what I saw. There was a birthing pool there, a delivery room and 2 newish recovery rooms.... My understanding is that you can't have an epi or a c-section there. Our plan was to birth at a birthing unit but ended up in Waikato as I had to be induced.

I CANNOT speak highly enough of our experience at Thames.. but didn't actually "do the deed" there if you know what I mean. The staff at Waikato were great but just too busy. I wasn't given some medication for 24 hours at Waikato before someone noticed I had been missing out.

PS: The food was also great... well compared to the meals I had at Waikato.

PM me if you have any questions.]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:58:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25407&PID=643165&title=thames-hospital#643165 <![CDATA[Thames |Hospital : Thames maternity hospital number...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25407&PID=642833&title=thames-hospital#642833 Author: blondie
