It sounds like it would be a good outcome either way. I've read about Peter Lucas and it's good to read positive stuff about Jan, as I was going to contact her when it's our time again. Do you feel comfortable with Peter? Is there a cost difference?
It may also help your family etc if you tell them you'll be having a doctor and a midwife. (Not wanting to disrespect midwives, who are more than capable, of course).

GL - looking forward to hearing how it all goes.

Tashy it is cheaper to go with Peter as lead carer, because I get loads back from Medicare. But TBH it's not really a deciding factor...

It would definately help with family!!! Not mine, but DH's - we haven't even told them I'm pregnant yet (waiting til end of 1st trimester) but I KNOW they will freak the heck out about HB!

My MAIN concern is - I want a successful HB. I do NOT want to transfer to hospital. Am I less likely to need to transfer with a GP? E.g. if something really goes wrong, is there anything he can do that might help avoid a transfer?
