Greenslopes Maternity Hospital

Greenslopes Maternity Hospital is true an amazing place to have the most important day in your life– the birth of your child. When I found out I was pregnant I researched all of the hospitals in the area both public and private. I was a bit undecided on paper between the Mater Private and Greeenslopes Maternity Hospital but after a walk through of the hospital and doing some research on obstetricians I decided on Greenslopes since my obstetrician was part of the team onsite.
The birth rooms are state of the art with TVs, a personal shower, mats, beanbags and balls to help while you are in labour and all the necessary medical equipment. Overall a relaxing feel. Air and gas are available in both the room and shower areas.
The midwives are so supportive and helpful from the prenatal classes that you can go to before you birth to bring there in the delivery room and after.
All rooms post delivery are private and many include a double bed which really helps to make you feel at home and also have your partner there to help at night and not have him sleeping in a chair.
The food was very good and there is an all day snack menu that you can order from most the day. I think I overdosed on the Banana Bread.
The care my and my son received post birth was incredible. If there is a second child in our future we will be back here.

For those of you who have given birth, you would understand why you would just have to go private over public. Whilst yes, you have the swish new Mater Mother’s for public (which I went to), and there is the awesome Sunnybank Private Hospital (which I also went to), just as I thought it couldn’t get possibly any better, then came the new Greenslopes Maternity Hospital.
Sure I did follow my Gyno (he is awesome by the way) to this hospital from Sunnybank, I don’t regret it. I am confidently looking forward to my stay here next year because this place is just like booking into a 5 star hotel. Well, not really but you get what I mean. The facilities are brand new, LCD TVs in every room mounted to the wall, an optionally $ 165 Luxury Package for those wanting a room filled with drink and food and nice lotions and robes and all the comforts of a 5 star hotel… they have well and truly gone out of their way to make you choose this place.
The Paediatricians have an office called ‘Paeds in a Pod’ how cute is that! Everyone looks happy here and I am looking forward to my tour of the maternity ward even though i’ve already done it twice.
Hail to Greenslopes, have your kid here.
