That`s very expensive for an OB mine was no where near that, for my first visit it cost $110 (which included an u/s) each visit after was $50 (cheaper then going to my GP) and we got all but $14 back from medicare then at 30 weeks had to pay $800 for the pregnancy maintenance which we got all but $120 back.

Private health cover covered all the costs for delivery (being a c/s) and stay in hospital.

We did have to pay for blood tests, and my 20 week ultrasound and my Pelvic CT scan but gain got a lot back from Medicare.

For the care I was given from my OB I`m definetely going through him again .

I have heard some people saying that had to pay for part of their c/s, not sure how common that is and my OB didn`t refer me to a Paedetrician, he would have if Matthew needed one!!
