I just wanted to comment to that although Wodonga Maternity has mixed reviews on its care I had no problems delivering there. They are a bit csection happy, with public or private patients, and they have no options for VBAC's which is a bit disappointing.
I had a fabulous midwife who was with me from the moment I came in til a few hours after I delivered. My OB started the induction and then went back to his surgery to see patients. We had already discussed the fact that he may not make it in time because I have fast births so we were both satisfied that the midwife would be just fine for delivery. I never had an internal after the initial one, I was allowed to push when I felt it was time. I couldnt have asked for better care from either one.
ETA - Kuraiza, your right about that, there is no truly low-risk pregnancy as no two pregnancies are the same. BUT I truly feel that you can gain a better perspective of whether a woman has any risk or not by previous deliveries. I deliver quite easily, never had any retained products, tearing, haemhorraging, fetal distress etc so its fair to say after 2 such deliveries Id be very unlikely to have any of these complications OR need intervention/csection. Obviously Id never say never but I would not want to be treated as high risk if there was no real need.
