Firstly I'm so sorry for your loss.

In '09 my SIL lost a full term baby for no apparent reason. In '10 she was pregnant again and opted to go for private care in Brisbane, at her first appointment they basically said she would need a c/s at 37wks. A few months later she moved back to Townsville and went through the public system because there aren't really any private options if you're going to have a sick baby.

They were very reluctant to give her a c/s that early and they agreed to one at 38-39wks depending on how things went. She was fine through out the pregnancy, was very nervous of course but towards the end she even considered trying to go natural. Unfortunately her DH talked her out of this and she ended up having the c/s at 39wks.

Very happy to say she now has a very healthy daughter.

She was seen by the one DR through the public hospital but didn't really go to that many more appointments or scans.
