The birth centre at the RBWH is a ballot system. I think you need to get a GP referral faxed to hospital. Don't let them tell you you can't go there because you're outside the catchment - that might be the case for birth suites, but not the birth centre. Do it as soon as you know you are pregnant, then that base is covered. Oh, and let the hospital decide whether you are high risk. They require that you have an ultrasound at 19 weeks to help them do so. But just because you have had fertility treatment, doesn't make you a high risk pregnancy. I know someone who birthed at the birth centre after fertility treatment.

I don't know much about the other two. I've heard good things about Caboolture and a midwifery program they have (it's called Holding Hands or something like that). They have baths there that you can use for pain relief in labour. I don't know anything about Nambour.

Don't give up on homebirth.....
