Im making an appointment to sit down and discuss options with the My Midwives branch here in Perth. They are medicare eligible and Ive discovered our health fund also allows some rebate for ante/post natal and birth costs for private midwifery. If I can utilise those things to get the costs down to manageable I think DH may be persuaded to let me go the IM route. I still dont feel entirely comfortable with the whole hospital program thing so yeah, cant hurt to look in to other things.

Either way I had my 20wk scan today, baby is looking great! Placenta is well out of way of my cervix, bub is measuring above 65th percentile which means no small-for-dates/IUGR concerns. Everything was where it should be and doing what it should be. So now we grow and wait!
