Thats the problem with the private system, we get pregnant and think we need the best of everything for our baby, so we choose the person we think is most qualified, best Ob, best hospital etc then only see the Ob for 5 mins every month (after waiting an hour or more to see them!), see no midwives during pregnancy who will actually be there at birth and if you want support, you have to get your own. We still have a long way to go in the birth / post-natal industry as far as support goes, but best outcomes don't always come with the most qualified Ob, particularly for a normal physiological birth. Public hospitals have less intervention rates than private and more midwives are involved with care most of the time. Private is all about $$. You pay big bucks, you get more big procedures.
