Homebirth General Discussion #17

if you have already been to the hospital, they will have any info they may need (personal details etc) if you transfer. Just ditch it.

I actually didn't even think of that. That's true. The only reason I went to the booking in was because Monash didn't have my details, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

Glad i never had to bother with booking in, being a hospital program my midwives did it.


You know some times its surreal sitting in my lounge room and right now I am watching little miss roll around on the exact spot she made he entrance to the world in!!

Yeah, me either... If I get time I'll give them a call, see if it's absolutely necessary. They'll probably say it is, but whatever. I'll call MAMA too and see what they say. I know on Monday Kris said something about it but I can't remember what it was

Good point on seeing hospy midwives instead of the doctor - again, you're right. My appointments were always written in as being with the doctor but I mostly saw midwives. So that'll probably happen again, if I go.

EDIT: Oohhhkay, it's so they have the most up-to-date information on THIS pregnancy. It'd be in the stuff MAMA sent over, but the Northerm apparently insist on actually seeing the "patient" and not taking the midwives' word for it So at least I have an answer in that regard I don't really mind greatly, I just don't like that hospital. If it were the Women's or the Mercy I wouldn't have as much of a problem, I'm just prejudiced
