I'm going public - I dont have obs cover on my insurance.
It doesn't worry me at all - In Geelong the private obs have to do time in the public system anyway, so there is a good chance if you are having problems, the best ob in ton will see you anyway.
I've had no problems at all with public, the only issue is the outpatients clinic at the hospital for the rooutine checks schedules you in between 9 and 12, which is really inconvenient for my work.
So I went Shared Care instead which means I get to choose my appt time with my GP, and have additional checks with the midwives.
The hospital looks fabulous, the birthing suites are reall nice, but I haven't seen the wards yet. I've been told they have been recently upgraded, and there is pay TV for each bed (if you want to pay for it....)
