Hi, I am totally confused as to what to do now!!! I am six weeks, just saw my doc today and he asked me where I was having the baby... I said ... "i dunno". He told me to work out if i was going public or private and then call him. He also said to ring my local Hospital's womans clinic (sunshine hospital) and they might mot need a referral.......

So I rang them and they said to call back Monday.

Now my Questions. What is shared care (saw it mentioned earlier). Is it really terrible just going through the hospital??? How much out of pocket expenses do you usually pay in private? Do you pay anything in public????

I know it is a lot of questions, it just seems like no one wants to answer them, not the doctor, the womans clinic or my health insurance provider.
