Hi,

I'm just trying to research a few different IMs to organise a HB and I'm a bit up in the air about fees.

On one hand I keep hearing about the great post-natal support from IMs but on the other hand I have seen fee schedules that charge a fixed amount per post-natal visit. Surely under that system you could opt to have a minimal amount of visits and perhaps NOT get very good post-natal care?

Are you using/did you use an IM who charged per fee or offered a lump sum package deal? What did you like about the option you chose?

I'm struggling with the money side of things- I went public last time and I didn't pay a cent! I know some people claim you could pay more for an OB but I never had or needed one of those either! I had BFing issues last time and had my post-natal midwife visits extended till we were all well... for free. This is killing me!

Thanks!
