Princess Kylie! "Rolled off and make the booking"... you make me laugh

When I was preg with Patrick, I went private and had to book in with Dr and Cabrini (Melbourne) and I think I was 6 weeks. I was warned by others before I fell preg that if I want to go to Cabrini I have to book as soon as I get the BFP.:eek:

So that was no worries.

Now I am going public this time around (Frankston) and they wouldn't take my booking before 8 weeks even though I'd had all the tests and a 7 week us!!

Then once I got through on the phone, I don't actually see them for my first visit until 29th December when I'll be around 16 weeks, so I have also booked with a Dr who does public and private patients and will just go to the one Dr for the duration, although no gaurantee he'll deliver!!

So I think that's the difference between public and privaite. Although there aren't a lot of public hospitals in my neck of the woods, so they are really really busy.

So, yes, I think that it's perfectly normal to book as early as you can, but I think 2 weeks preg is a bit over the top!!!
