Thanks Hannah, you're really helpful! I think i'll find a good GP and talk to them and you're right, after having a baby i'll need a good reliable one anyway.

I looked up some info on the net about the Tweed Hospital (it's 10mins down the road from us so very close!) and they have 4 birthing rooms, 12 postnatal rooms (4 single, 8 double), 8 gynaological beds (what are they for?? I know what the word means but what are the beds for?) and 7 special care nursery cots available. i dont know how up to date the info is but does that seem like a decent sized hospital?? It doesn't look like there are any 4-share rooms so that's good!!!I think if i was sharing with someone i'll be happy no worries... I would hope my bathroom is in the room though! That's awful if it's down the hall! Especially if you've just had a c/section! gosh! (i hope mine will be natural)

It's either Tweed Hospital or Gold Coast Hospital...I think it's smart to be at a hospital that is close however if there are complicatoins, do you think they would end up taking me to the Gold Coast Hosp? I notice you mentioned that if there were complications... cos' its a smaller hospital and all that... they still have the right equipment though don't they to cope with just about anything????
as you said, i don't mind what midwives will be at the birth, as long as they are all fully trained!!! I think you would be in too much pain too care really??
