Hello! I’m just wondering if anyone could tell me if their experience having a baby at Castlebar? Currently pregnant for the 4th time. Had my first two over in England (rough pregnancies and labours) then we moved over to Ireland this time last year. 3rd pregnancy I miscarried and unfortunately didn’t get the best care at Castlebar a&e, hence I’ve got this awful bloody feeling about what this is going to be like. Im under consultant care but I’ve not actually seen the same consultant every time I’ve had an appointment so it’s all just making me apprehensive and a bit worried about how things are going to go

  • I had a baby in Castlebar about 2 years ago. It was a failed induction that ended up c section. I had chose to go private as I was very nervous but I got great care from all the staff the whole way through. When you walk into the maternity part of the hospital it's a lot calmer than the rest of the hospital. I hope this helps. 

  • I had a baby in August in castlebar and found them to be great. I was midwife led but each appointment was fine, I had one instance of reduced movement and went to maternity day ward for a few hrs and found them to be excellent, caring and attentive. The midwives looking after me when I had the baby were great and then postnatal I had high blood pressure and again had to spend a day being observed and found the care to be good. If you’re consultant led you will likely see a different SHO/registrar at each appointment and only the actual consultant if something serious is going on. Overall I had a very positive experience in castlebar
