Hi Blackstar

Are you planning to go public or private?

With the public birthing centre I went to I saw my GP initially who did a referral to the birthing centre and then they contacted me for an appointment. I saw a midwife the first time there around 8 weeks and then i kept seeing a midwife until the later stages of pregnancy when I was told I needed to see an ob as i had high blood pressure and signs of pre-eclampsia.

I'm not sure if this has helped, all I would suggest is that you phone the place where you plan to have bubs and ask them for some advice as to what to do.

Hope this helps
