DH and I are moving (we need more room for bub and all the family who will obviously visit more!).

Our OB is situated in Malvern and we have booked into Cabrini in Malvern (which is an excellent hospital). We currently live in East St Kilda.

We are looking to move now to Kensington (just north east of the city). Would we be better to change to a hospital closer to home - our OB also delivers at Frances Perry in Carlton or St Vincent's Private in Fitzroy, rather than go to the other side of the city? It would be a 30 minute drive depending on traffic.

I'm not bothered by having to travel to our OB as we really like him and we will just make appointments after work.

Any recommendations on these hospitals? Sorry if this is in the wrong section (probably should be under OB/Hospital section) but I wanted opinions on being close to a hospital more than opinions on the actual hospitals.

Sorry, I'm rambling - any thoughts?
