Someone Pinch Me?

Congratulations Ammaki, that's great news!

Have you decided where on the coast you'll be birthing bub?

No PHC for me so i guess GCH? I hear Robina is meant to better but im not sure if i can go there, will have a chat with my doc, obviously only early days so he wont do any paper work for a little while yet!

Booked a dating scan in on the 30th of this month! Cant wait!

Unfortunately Robina doesn't have a maternity unit.

There is the regular GCH maternity unit, or you can birth at the birthcentre at GCH. There are a few girls on here who highly recommend the BC. I think you have to apply very early on to be considered though so keep that in mind if the BC appeals to you.

Not sure what end of the coast you are on but I've heard a lot of great feedback about the Tweed Hospital also.

Exciting times!!!

Im glad im not crazy for wanting to keep my HPTs LOL. Although they are too bulky to stick in an album i think, maybe i'll take a photo of them and stick the photo in an album

Ammaki, there is a thread on here somewhere from when Sunshine Sieben was applying to get into the BC. I have a feeling the BMI cut-off might be 35? Will see if I can find the thread and paste it here for you
