We have just discovered we’re expecting our second baby next March .
My baby girl was born last November at the Mater Public because I was still serving the waiting period on my health insurance.
We’re fully covered now so I can have this baby privately.
I was really happy with Emily’s prenatal care and delivery on the whole. I was especially happy with the midwives who assisted with her birth, they were wonderful. However, she was born at 36.5 weeks and I had gestational diabetes, so I think I’d benefit from being under a specialist this time.
I’m totally clueless about how this works, but I’m wondering whether those of you who are going private feel that it has been worth it, what problems have you had, how expensive has it been it out of pocket terms (sorry if that’s nosey !) etc.
I’d really appreciate any feedback or advice. I need to make a decision on this soon.
