Ok, so this thread has got me thinking. We want another baby and I went private first time and had no issue with how things went etc... however, it has me thinking about options. Now, I googled 'midwifery led care' and two choices come up around here - Monash & William Angliss. What I want to know is, how do you know for sure you are going to get that continuity of care from the midwives at these two places? I assume that there are shifts/rosters like all other medical facilities, so if I am in for say two days, how do I know I am going to get the same midwife? Is that what people mean by continuity of care or am I confused?
I got the same midwife that was there when DD was delivered. When she was rostered on, she was allocated to me & obviously other patients. I think I saw her three or four times shifts when I was in hospital.
