thanks GoingtobeinAsia. Its been rough but he is still here (needs a heart-lung transplant tho).

Warning - be really careful of internet searches for stuff about preg or complications. It can do your head in! Be really careful surfing!

Can you talk with other expats about their exp birthing where you are now? Problem is I guess that if you get nervous towards the end of preg and want to change your mind you cant fly out to Aust after a certain number of weeks. And you need to feel safe to birth well I think. That is why I am going to our best public hospt even though I have to drive past a few other good hospitals to get to it (and its over an hour from home). I feel really safe there as we have been going there for our DS's care for years (the ladies in the cafe know how I like my coffee too!).
