I had an ob but as a public patient so he wasnt present at my birth (didnt need to be anyway, my midwife was AMAZING) and I remember when I was overdue wishing Aidan would come out as we were running out of money for our expensive and useless ob appointments!

When I had my pregnancy confirmed at the GP I was given the impression I HAD to have an ob. Next time I plan on having 100% midwife care at my local (brand new!) public hospital.
