I'm in the same situation, due at the end of this month with our second and having our baby at Box Hill. I have already stated on my file that i will refuse the IV Antibiotics if my waters have not broken etc as i also think that AB given to a newborn unnecisarily is wrong as both myself and my daughter have had problems with AB's and i dont want this to effect my babys developing immume system.
Yes, thank you - too often this is just written off as a selfish decision on behalf of a woman who might simply not want a needle... I've had IVs many many times and that is not the uppermost concern for me. Dosing myself and my baby with unnecessary antibiotics, and all the concomitant risks that entails is my major concern!

I had my last dd at Box Hill - I didn't like the medicos but the middies were fantastic. I hope you have a good experience!
