Hi,
Have just found out that I'm pregnant and we are very new to all of this! My question is about hospital bookings...we have private health cover and there really is only one option of a private hospital in our area. the thing is that an extended family member is a midwife there. So what I'm wondering is, when you make a booking are the midwifes aware of this or is it purely an admin thing and they don't find out who patients are until futher down the track...(we are planning to keep the baby news just to ourselves until the 12 week mark, so obviuosly don't want her to find out through the hospital.) The other option is is it possible or do many people who have private health ins. go through the public system?? (Its not our ideal situation to be in a hospital with a close family connection working there as a midwife!!) Anyway, let me know if anyone has any info. thanks for your help...sorry its a bit of a long post!
