Hi Guys In light of the special assignment documentary I watched last night on 404 focusing on issues pregnant women face during labour and delivery in our health care system I therefore have decided to do an update addressing my experience in trying to resolve my grievances. Thank you all for your overwhelming support and compassion
I gave birth at a public hospital and my experience was the most beautiful ever...From teaching me how to breastfeed, from helping me get up from my c-section...I’m sorry for experience ❤️
Sorry you had such a bad experience mommy, I had both my kids at Netcare Parklane hospital via c-section and the service has been consistently wonderful I'm so grateful.
I'm a midwife at a public clinic and myself and colleagues never leave a patient in active labor. Also sometimes it's really an individual who gives a whole place a bad name. So sorry your birth wasn't as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for sharing your story I have watched this more than 3 times painful I am pregnant myself I am not going there I will ask momentum to watch this video and remove this hospital from our list
I have birth to a stillborn 15 months ago due to a doctor's negligence, he kept procrastinating the due date even though I had made my concerns quite clear, we found out that my baby's heart had stopped two days before his delivery date. On top of that once he was born the Beacon Bay Life Hospital in East London told us that they didn't have the equipment to keep my baby's body, basically after my c-section I had 4 hours to arrange an undertaker to come fetch his body, hence your story upsets me to the core.
I’m so sorry about what you went through sisi and Thank God you’re safe , you’re entitled to your own opinion so don’t mind these other ones , I don’t know you personally but I don’t think anyone would make up anything like this not even for subscribers 😭 it sounds traumatic and I’m glad you didn’t take down this video, just watched the follow up video and you handled everything so well . This video is doing waaaay more than what that 11k could have done for you . And that Zodwa , she’ll get what’s coming to her if she hasn’t already. I love you and all the best ❤️
This is so upsetting!!!!!! I'm so sorry you went thru that and thank you for sharing this story, it'll help the next person. This Zodwa character will get whats hers.
I was considering them as an option...BUT I was shook at "I need to go and have my tea" from the nurse. WOW!!!!! And they charge so much for their services... I am so sorry that you had this awful experience, but glad you and baby made it out of that place healthy and safely! ❤🤗
yoh! sorry to hear this, i am a medical student myself and my heart is just broken listening to your story especially about the anaesthesiologist and gyne refusing to give you service before payment! :( when did money gain priority over human lives??? and by the way- you can actually don't have to pay the extra 12k, you can speak to a medical lawyer and get compensation for their incompetence.... they didn't write a medical report on your birth coz they knew they were wrong, i see these things happening a lot in the hospital- most patients don't report or sue so it usually goes unpunished!
Yooh I'm traumatized 😭😭. Thank God that you and the baby were healthy and did not need more of their services. I also think the c section thing was a quick buck plan... Wowwww!! I'm so maddd 😭😭. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
This is so touching my husband and I I just saw your video and deeply moved and saddened by your experience. The events that occurred actually driven by greed and I’ll show the pure lack of care, lack of compassion and the lack of humanity. It is so sad that the healthcare provider was more focused on profit and motivated by greed and subjected you to agonizing pain. I hope now you’ve gotten you know some situation of healthcare so that you don’t have to come out of pocket. The shocker is that you have to pay for the OR just to use the operating facility that is ridiculous!
I am so upset on your behalf and I hope you will take this matter on. I am so sorry you went through that. Congratulations on the birth of your nana. Love love love the green vibes look 😍
I was just thinking of switching from a hospital/gynae service to the Genesis/midwife route. Yoh thanks for sharing. I shall stick with my gynae and hospital.
Sies Genesis. I felt your pain as a mom its something that I passed thru: bad service from these nurses. God is good you're alive and your baby. Bless your husband!
OMG Mmaneo sorry you had to go through that!! Totally unacceptable, I hope you follow up on your complaint and they take action against that so called midwife. So heartless
Am giving birth at public hospital as cant afford private but...I never get that treatment.am staying in joburg by job but when am pregnant I always travel to Polokwane(botlokwa) to give birth.they always treat me fine.
I also had a horrible labour experience my Gynae kept on insisting that I do a c-section even though it was not necessary. Fortunately I'm also in the medical sector and she couldn't fool me by insisting that I have an induction of labour only 3 hours after the onset of labour as a primigravida (first pregnancy & labour). She wanted me to have an induction unnecessarily so that I'd have foetal distress and be forced to have a c-section. I said no to all the above as my labour was progressing quiet smoothly and I had a nice uneventful normal delivery
2021... and I was just considering Genesis..... suddenly not so much. Your husband should become a midwife or gynie. He is an angel. You are so lucky to have a man like that.
My friend went thru the exact same thing at genesis and she gave me a number for a good midwife who works there but is basically self employed so she sun contracts -I dealt with her and her alone I got my natural birth I wanted .we even ended up doing a spontaneous water north .i didn’t deal with anyone else but her .
I'm so sorry you had to go through this, masibulele qha that you and your baby made it out alive. To think that I was actually thinking of ditching Femina for Genesis with my next baby👐🏽. Let me stick with my Femina yhuu.
Oh my goodness, you went through the most. I gave birth at Genesis and I had such an amazing experience, most of the staff was amazing. 3 of my friends also gave birth there and they had a great experience too. I hope you laid an official complaint against that midwife, wow, unacceptable. I'm also like, you having an emergency, what if the money didn't go through?? Wow
I am so sorry you had to go through that, shuuuuu I am glad you and the baby survived that horrible ordeal. It is thoroughly disappointing to hear such about Genesis, they were one of the facilities I was considering to give birth at but after your testimony....i think i need to continue searching.
Yho this is stressful. My midwife, before the new one I requested, was also a nightmare. Told that hun to shape up or ship out. Best decision I made. But nami the contraction were not detected on the machine. Side note there is ALOT that needs to be done with nurses and midwives in maternity wards because sisi if you can't speak up for yourself some of these people will show you fire. Thank you for sharing
Yoh your delivery was hectic. Remember mine. I was in labour for 2days. I had a very good doctor and she was so sweet. Didn't experience this at all. Mind you it was at a public hospital. Askies cc. Sibonga impilo nje
Yoh, thanks for sharing...wow and to think i was considering them for when hubby and i decide to have a second baby. no ways, i am not going there. lol. Imagine seeing such flames after paying so much money. No ways. i am actually shocked. Thanks for sharing. my heart bleeds for your that you had to go through such. I am glad baby is fine and you are fine.
This is heartbreaking.No apology/refund can take the traumatic experience away,I hope you've gotten counseling or some sort of help to process this because it sounds like it was too hectic. I gave birth at Genesis a few months ago and it was beautiful,it left me feeling empowered as a first time mom.Im disappointed that you got treated this way by them.sorry mama,glad you and baby are physically fine.
I just found your channel and am a new subbie thank you for sharing your birth story but am still shocked at what you've been through I hope you sued them for the horrible service.
I'm so sorry for your experience! I feel like I might have been there at the same time you were. I was there 2019. I had a decent experience. I was assisted by a midwife called Sarah then later by Zodwa. If it's the same midwife she definitely has government hospital vibes. She ruined my birthing experience. From that moment I made a vow to have enough money for my own midwife. The staff midwives generally give off the vibe ba they are just pushing time till it's knock off time. Apart from Zodwa my experience was great there. I think the treatment of cash clients might be somewhat different? Maybe because if you can fork out 30k-50k just to birth there in a private suite with a garden there must be more money in the bank...Overall it's a damn shame how they take advantage.
Hi Mmaneo, so sorry you felt that kind of crappy service at Genesis. 😞 I have given birth twice at Genesis and have never experienced anything like that. The recent time was this year in June 2019. The nurses were super helpful and I could sleep at night with husband on the side while they took care of our son. I guess this is another side of Genesis I never knew.
I’m really saddened about this😔. I don’t need to know you to sympathize with you. I’m really sorry you had to go thru that. I literally shed a tear when you were explaining what happened. You’d think such things only happen in govt institutions. I’m glad the baby came out fine and is still fine. God is good🙌🏾
You and here I am thinking I had a horrible birth experience, compared to yours i now count my blessings, yoh girl I am shocked for days mmm.... thought my next child will be in a Genesis clinic but like wow thank you for the review im sticking to hospitals shu!!!!!!!
I have heard the worst stories about the place I had planned to go there but after hearing that it's the worst place to go I didn't go I did some research about them and indeed found that if I want to have a great experience rather go to a proper hospital because they don't even have a NICU should anything happen to the baby. I just went there to get my scans done cos the lady there was nice
I’m so sorry you had to go through that friend, hopefully they come across this video and improve their service or hire better staff.
Thanks chommie
Hi Guys
In light of the special assignment documentary I watched last night on 404 focusing on issues pregnant women face during labour and delivery in our health care system
I therefore have decided to do an update addressing my experience in trying to resolve my grievances.
Thank you all for your overwhelming support and compassion
Quality ♥️💃🏾 welcome back sweets!
This makes me emotional, I also gave birth at Genesis in 2017........I thank God me and my son made it, we almost didn't, thank you for sharing sis.
Please share your story.
I gave birth at a public hospital and my experience was the most beautiful ever...From teaching me how to breastfeed, from helping me get up from my c-section...I’m sorry for experience ❤️
Who here thinks that they did it on purpose that she goes for a C-Section just to get more money? People are cruel.
They do that. It's messed up. That's why I plan to give birth at a birthing centre when I have a child
Exactly there plan
You’re actually right yazi 🤔
That's exactly what I was thinking while watching it
I think so too...baya dlisana. Not going there🤞
Sorry you had such a bad experience mommy, I had both my kids at Netcare Parklane hospital via c-section and the service has been consistently wonderful I'm so grateful.
You’re so pretty! I love the beat and the hair....
So sorry you had to go through this trauma sis... We thank God that you and baby were okay at the end of it all...
Your story really touched me... i literally cried... you went through hell shames! ... thanks God you and baby are fine....
This is so upsetting, how can you be mean to someone in labor and fail to do your job🤦🏾♀️ thank God you and your baby made it out alive 🙏🏾
Yhooo hai thank God nyani
Congrats😍😍😍!
Ngixakwa yi staff esi hanjiswa yimali to help i patient. Yiiiiiii I can't deal stru nasi.
Just glad that you're both ok!
Giving birth is a matter of life and death guys, am in tears listening to this story. 😢
I'm a midwife at a public clinic and myself and colleagues never leave a patient in active labor. Also sometimes it's really an individual who gives a whole place a bad name. So sorry your birth wasn't as comfortable as possible.
Everyone left me sis 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your story I have watched this more than 3 times painful I am pregnant myself I am not going there I will ask momentum to watch this video and remove this hospital from our list
I am also a midwife at public hospital, I can also attest that we never leave alone a woman in active phase of labour.
I'm so soory for what you went through. You should definitely sue them. You have a great supportive husband!
I have birth to a stillborn 15 months ago due to a doctor's negligence, he kept procrastinating the due date even though I had made my concerns quite clear, we found out that my baby's heart had stopped two days before his delivery date. On top of that once he was born the Beacon Bay Life Hospital in East London told us that they didn't have the equipment to keep my baby's body, basically after my c-section I had 4 hours to arrange an undertaker to come fetch his body, hence your story upsets me to the core.
Wow I’m so sorry this sound traumatizing, I would die to be honest and probably would have killed that doctor too. I hope you healing I’m really sorry
I’m so sorry about what you went through sisi and Thank God you’re safe , you’re entitled to your own opinion so don’t mind these other ones , I don’t know you personally but I don’t think anyone would make up anything like this not even for subscribers 😭 it sounds traumatic and I’m glad you didn’t take down this video, just watched the follow up video and you handled everything so well .

This is so upsetting!!!!!! I'm so sorry you went thru that and thank you for sharing this story, it'll help the next person. This Zodwa character will get whats hers.
The makeup look is gorgeous. I'm still listening but just had to say that.
You look gorgeous am soo sorry about the bad experience, I only have one baby girl am soo scared to have another Nkosi yam, I like your hair
I was considering them as an option...BUT I was shook at "I need to go and have my tea" from the nurse. WOW!!!!! And they charge so much for their services... I am so sorry that you had this awful experience, but glad you and baby made it out of that place healthy and safely! ❤🤗
I honestly had a very beautiful birthing experience at a public hospital the nurses handled me with care ..
I did too:)
Which hospital?
yoh! sorry to hear this, i am a medical student myself and my heart is just broken listening to your story especially about the anaesthesiologist and gyne refusing to give you service before payment! :( when did money gain priority over human lives??? and by the way- you can actually don't have to pay the extra 12k, you can speak to a medical lawyer and get compensation for their incompetence.... they didn't write a medical report on your birth coz they knew they were wrong, i see these things happening a lot in the hospital- most patients don't report or sue so it usually goes unpunished!
I’m so sorry for your experience and so happy on your new addition to your family 💐💐
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Yoh Mmaneo that was traumatic!!! Thank God that you and the baby are well, you did it. Congrats mama. 💐
you should get a lawyer and put sue them
Yooh I'm traumatized 😭😭. Thank God that you and the baby were healthy and did not need more of their services.
I also think the c section thing was a quick buck plan... Wowwww!! I'm so maddd 😭😭. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
This is so touching my husband and I I just saw your video and deeply moved and saddened by your experience. The events that occurred actually driven by greed and I’ll show the pure lack of care, lack of compassion and the lack of humanity. It is so sad that the healthcare provider was more focused on profit and motivated by greed and subjected you to agonizing pain. I hope now you’ve gotten you know some situation of healthcare so that you don’t have to come out of pocket. The shocker is that you have to pay for the OR just to use the operating facility that is ridiculous!
I am so upset on your behalf and I hope you will take this matter on. I am so sorry you went through that. Congratulations on the birth of your nana. Love love love the green vibes look 😍

I was just thinking of switching from a hospital/gynae service to the Genesis/midwife route. Yoh thanks for sharing. I shall stick with my gynae and hospital.
Sies Genesis. I felt your pain as a mom its something that I passed thru: bad service from these nurses. God is good you're alive and your baby. Bless your husband!
Your story is so scary..I’m sorry that you went through such horror and thank you so much for warning us 🙏🏼
wow im so sorry for all that you went through and I thank GOD for your life after all that you expienced
OMG Mmaneo sorry you had to go through that!! Totally unacceptable, I hope you follow up on your complaint and they take action against that so called midwife. So heartless
Am giving birth at public hospital as cant afford private but...I never get that treatment.am staying in joburg by job but when am pregnant I always travel to Polokwane(botlokwa) to give birth.they always treat me fine.

I dont like what im hearing right now but thanks God u made it dear....i like you...u too gorgeous
I also had a horrible labour experience my Gynae kept on insisting that I do a c-section even though it was not necessary.

Your husband should become a midwife or gynie. He is an angel. You are so lucky to have a man like that.
So sorry you had to go through that and thank you for sharing your experience. You're stunning by the way ❤️ sending lots of love from a new subbie
From a good midwife. I'm so sorry for your experience. It's worse when it's a private hospital
My friend went thru the exact same thing at genesis and she gave me a number for a good midwife who works there but is basically self employed so she sun contracts -I dealt with her and her alone I got my natural birth I wanted .we even ended up doing a spontaneous water north .i didn’t deal with anyone else but her .
I'm so sorry you had to go through this, masibulele qha that you and your baby made it out alive. To think that I was actually thinking of ditching Femina for Genesis with my next baby👐🏽. Let me stick with my Femina yhuu.
Wow, I'm in awe, this is so upsetting. Sorry you experienced all that.
This made me emotional,I am sorry you had to go through all of this. Thank God you and your son made it.❤️🙏🏾💐
I think you should really look into a medical negligence lawsuit. This is absolutely horrible.
Oh no. This sounds horrible! I’m so sorry you went through this. Glad you and baby are ok ❤️
Oh my goodness, you went through the most. I gave birth at Genesis and I had such an amazing experience, most of the staff was amazing. 3 of my friends also gave birth there and they had a great experience too. I hope you laid an official complaint against that midwife, wow, unacceptable. I'm also like, you having an emergency, what if the money didn't go through?? Wow
Mzansi Mom Did you use a private midwife or the ones at genesis?
Yhu sisi. You're so strong. Phephisa❤️

Hi Precious, did you use private midwife or in-house midwife ?
@Nontokozo Nkosi Hi Nontokozo!A private midwife but my doula was one of their in-house nurses.
Genuinely regret watching this. Literally gives me anxiety about my delivery hayi hayi Lord🤭😣
So sorry you went through that!!♥️☹️
All the best with yours hun...
I just found your channel and am a new subbie thank you for sharing your birth story but am still shocked at what you've been through I hope you sued them for the horrible service.
Thank u
This story has rocked me.

Awww mommy I'm so sorry.
And to think that I've always wanted to give birth at Genesis😑😮😓
P.s thank the Almighty that you are both well and healthy 😘
Hi Mmaneo, so sorry you felt that kind of crappy service at Genesis. 😞 I have given birth twice at Genesis and have never experienced anything like that. The recent time was this year in June 2019. The nurses were super helpful and I could sleep at night with husband on the side while they took care of our son. I guess this is another side of Genesis I never knew.
I was shocked and I’m not the only one
Similar story but I delivered at the public hospital Kwakunzima guys, I feel like crying when I think of what I went through
I can only imagine ur pain, I’m so sorry
I’m fuming wow 😤 but glad you and little baba are healthy and well 🙏🏻✨♥️👑
I was in hell
Mmaneo V I’m glad you and the princes are well though. ♥️
Yhooo I am in shock, very sorry you had to go though such. I doubt people will go there after watching this video... By the way You look beautiful
Thank u my love
This is a really sad story sisi....please sue them for medical negligence
This is probably the worst that one can go through.. Yhu. Glad you and baby are okay. I'm actually freaked out
Thank God he's in control
I’m really saddened about this😔. I don’t need to know you to sympathize with you. I’m really sorry you had to go thru that. I literally shed a tear when you were explaining what happened. You’d think such things only happen in govt institutions. I’m glad the baby came out fine and is still fine. God is good🙌🏾
Coming to think I wanted to consider Genesis and this is their treatment yhuuu haiii😢😢😢😢.
Maked sense why the maternity ward is closing down and has been bought over Life Hospital.
What an ordeal! I am so sorry you went through that x
What kind of establishment is that? Thanks for naming them sisi, you have probably saved lives. Sorry you went through that.
You and here I am thinking I had a horrible birth experience, compared to yours i now count my blessings, yoh girl I am shocked for days mmm.... thought my next child will be in a Genesis clinic but like wow thank you for the review im sticking to hospitals shu!!!!!!!
You relay the story so easy, but it is sooo painful to listen. couldn't help but cry.
I am very happy that you are safe , healthy ❤️& well. I’m also happy that the baby is good❤️❤️.
You should have sued that place 😤
I was planning to give birth there. One too many, I'm sorry I'll go to netcare enkosi.
Please
I have heard the worst stories about the place I had planned to go there but after hearing that it's the worst place to go I didn't go I did some research about them and indeed found that if I want to have a great experience rather go to a proper hospital because they don't even have a NICU should anything happen to the baby. I just went there to get my scans done cos the lady there was nice
This is so heartbreaking 💔
I’m so traumatized😱
So glad you’re doing well and your baby is fine.
I'm even afraid of having a baby now.. I'm so sorry babe. Thank God you made it through.
Yhu! And here I was thinking mine was the worst experience ever. So sorry you had to go through that.🌻💕🌻
Im only watching this now and Im in my 2nd trimester. It just scared the shit out of me🥺🥺 I'm so sorry you had to experience that❤
Don’t be your experience might be amazing
My first experience Was so good that’s y I wasn’t scared to have another baby
First person to comment. Congratulations 🤗🤗
SO to u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank God you and the baby are good. I'm sorry babe❣️
This was a very weird situation for a PRIVATE hospital wow.
The hospital is closing in May. I am sorry you had such a horrible experience
Sorry for all the people who are losing their jobs but that place is a shit show
