Bahh to your friend. Did you tell her that if something goes wrong, its off to public hospital for you anyway. Thats how good the private hossys are...
My SIL went private, her obs was on holiday, the middys delivered her kid. All that dough spent and you just end up with the same care as anywhere. In all reality, its a night or two at most if everything goes well. Do you really need to spend the cash??
