Hi Alan, ~Saram~ and sezjm,
Thanks so much for your responses and well wishes! We have private health cover so options are open which I'm grateful for. Thanks also Alan for your insights into the philosophy behind midwifery vs OB. I would love to work with one or two midwives throughout the pregnancy, so might ask at our nearest hospitals about their programs. I'll see if I might be able to book in to tour them tomorrow; or maybe just go to the RPA here in Sydney where a few of my friends have gone, and check out the birthing centre.
My ob was fantastic, he said at the start "pregnancy is not an illness, I am just here to help if anything goes wrong" He was so supportive and very reassuring, I broke my foot at 28 wks and had to have surgery and he visited me in hospital a number of times while I was in for that. (Just my 2c worth defending obs)
