We went private and a paediatrician attended the birth (emergency caesarean). He checked Amy everyday for the 7 days we were in hospital. We never asked for one but we were really happy with him. We were billed $550 and I got 100% back from Medicare. We had a 4 week check up with him and a 6 week check up with the Ob and they did the same things which is check Amy's hips and general health.
