Kilkenny hospital neonatal unit!!

Baby75

Was wondering does any one know if Kilkenny hospital has one and how good it is!
I am very unfortunate and so far all my babies end up in special care for a few days, I develop GD and need insulin so can mean that baby needs help when born with blood sugars, also I have problems with A to O incompatibility. I want to find out now so if needs be I can change to a hospital .

Also what the normal length of time does Kilkenny keep you in after delivery!
Thanks in Advance:)

They do have a special care unit. I don't know how good it is as luckily we didn't need it, but the staff there are very good in general. I was only kept in for 36 hours after the birth (my first), was asked if I'd like to stay another night or go home, I chose home. A friend of mine was there for 5 nights after a more complicated birth - I don't think they rush you out the door or anything. I found the staff very open and informative - if you ask the antenatal clinic nurses I'm sure they'll send you up to see the facilities and meet the labour ward nurses so you can judge and decide for yourself.

Thanks so much for that, I will talk with the nurses at my next appointment
