Hi again Karina,
Yes RPA has a birthing centre with 9 birth rooms apparently, although we are yet to go visit. All the reports sound good. Same team midwife care model that it sounds like you have. There are 6 midwives and hopefully you meet them all over the 9 month period so that you know the one that is there when the little one decides it wants out. Only issue so far is that appointments are a bit tough to get, and I have to wait until 12-15 weeks and use a GP in the meantime. I'll have to go on the hunt for a good GP as I'm not so excited about the medical centre and it's random doctors! Sounds like Royal North Shore is going to be great. We'll have to compare notes.
