I think it depends on your area. For me, no. Simply put I was told if I went private myself and my girls would be in the public hospital anyway as the private hospital here doesnt have a SCBU/NICU.

I also think it depends on the 'high risk'... I can understand the pre-eclampsia risk and say, birth trauma, but if you're being called high risk because of an 11lb baby it's a bit unfair... Are you UTD again? xoxox
