Okey dokey, long story.

We're moving from Melbourne to Woodend in June.

I'm having a caesar at St V's Private in Melbourne on 27 July. I was originally looking at transferring from there after a night to Kyneton Hospital (public) because I'd been told that was possible. Would be much easier for DP to come visit me in Kyneton (15 mins) than drive to Melbourne (1 hour) every day.

Anyhow, spoke to Kyneton today and they're flat chat. They couldn't do an elective caesar there nor could they accept me for post-caesar care.

But they did suggest that I could use them for Hospital At Home Care by getting a referral from St V's Private. So basically, this would be sooper-dooper. I'd spend two nights at St V's, go home but then get midwifery visits from Kyneton Hospital.

I'm LOVING this idea.

However, Kyneton Hospital midwife said this might be tricky as the referring hospital needs to fund it and I'd be going from a private hospital to a public one so that might be tricky. I don't totally understand that but got her gist.

Anyhow, anyone done it?
