I went public with a private ob. He was there for the birth as I went into theatre for a forceps delivery. He was even there for my pushing stage! He was great and took notice of what I said and made sure that myself and DH knew what was happening each step of the way as he was there earlier on, he popped in and out. I did have a few worries though during labour but I still believe he would have been there regardless.

What was probably the best thing was when I went for my 6 week check up after delivery, he told me what a fantastic job I did and I should be proud of myself. (labour was a bit tough for me) so hearing this was great.
