welcome, Mrsmac, glad you found it.

I had all mine with the midwife clinic, if you need to see an ob for anything they call the one on call. It was great, with my last little one I had two student midwifes for the delivery and it was a great experience even though I was induced, they let me do what I wanted and dh even did the delivery.

You should try and come to the meet up next week.

MrsMc - i am going through Calvary Public with this pg (my third), I don't really have any feedback at this stage - But can certainly let you know later on. What age are your other kids? Are you planning on coming to meet up at brand depot next tuesday (24/03/09)? It would be nice to meet you. I live out near Belconnen.

My other kidlets are 5 and a half and 4 years old

I would REALLY like to go through a midwife clinic, but this high blood pressure and last preg being high risk because of it, I don't know if I will be alloawed.

I really don't like too much intervention, had lots of it both times and I don't feel it helped. I would like NOT to be on a bed this time

Hi everyone

MrsMc - I have gone through midwife clinic twice at Calvary and have had wonderful experiences - my last the best - but I also had a doula, fantastic midwives on (lucky for me), a good ob on duty and knew exactly what I wanted etc.

With your medical history - they still might take you on, but have you reviewed more frequently by Ob, or shared care seeing your GP every two weeks or something like that. Ring the clinic and ask to speak to Cathy - she is the head midwife at the clinic and is fabulous.

I am in Gungahlin too

Hope you can make 24/03 - next Tuesday meet up - we can chat about it more then.

Nothing much happening here - Zander will be 6 months old next week and I am already sad about my last baby growing up lol -pathetic hey.

Will continue to check in

Mrsmac, I went threw the midwife clinic and with my first to had pre e/ high bp and all they did was I saw the ob who was on each time I had an appointment (so different one just about each time) and the head honchoe called in when necessary and they were great, both my first were induced early due to my pre e. So you def can go there. You will be under your gp till afound 14 weeks from memory.
