Congratz on the pregnancy! I booked an obs privately about a week after I got my home BFP, which was just after my blood test confirmed it. I saw the obs on wednesday and he said I was maybe 4 days later than what I may be but kept the same due day anyway. I decided to go privately with this obs and the hospital he works at because of recommendations. Going privately is heaps more expensive than public, but you do see the obs every time you have an appointment (which is once a month) and they tend to have a little ultrasound so that they can check on the bub. However, some of the test, going private, like for the first trimester bloods, ( and I need to do CMV serology because i work in a virus lab) and the downs screening ultrasound are really expensive privately, so I'm doing them as a public patient, which you are completely entitled to do.
Its up to do, if you want to go public or private, but at least with private you can choose everything the way you want it to be.....but for a price
