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
well after hearing all this im definately getting a doula next birth. im so angry about not being warned about this sort of thing. You would think, well imo that they would mention this sort of stuff. SHouldn't we get a choice? why couldnt I get a choice? i mean i know induction in there view was what needed to happen, but why couldnt they have let me go on my own for a while and see if i could of dialted etc before just pumping me full of drugs. BAH
