    Ahhh. We looked there (we live in Belgrave) but DH wouldn't cope well with only a 24-hours stay. Unfortunately. Cause apart from that we'd love it!

    So you were looking at the family birthing centre then? We're just going in the normal delivery ward & its a 2 day stay unless you have a c-sect, then its 4

    yeps, the family birthing. We went with Knox Private though as it has a 5-day stay. Of course, the problem there is that we have to use an OB. Don't get me wrong, Ken is great, but still .. I'd prefer just a midwife!!!!

    What if you went to the birth centre, but then got a private midwife for post-natal visits?

    The Angliss was all midwife care from memory & there was home visits by midwifes too. The only reason we didnt choose the FBC was because its our first.

    Kelly - my DHs problem is the time - it takes him a while to get used to ideas. So him learning how to "deal" with Pip at the hossy for 5 days was great, it made him realise he could do it at home.

    Having a midwife visit at home wouldn't really help that side of things
