That's fantastic. One question - can you birth with that midwife in a private hospital or only public? Presume that in a private hospital you still have to have a designated (and paid for) ob - is that right?

And can you have both - so a midwife AND an ob (if you pay for it). Realise that sounds like overkill but I'd actually like both. Midwife to birth with me and ob to do any medical stuff that MAY be required. Would actually like to know both people before going to hospital and getting up the pointy end (so to speak).
