Hi Girls,

I have just recently found out that I am pregnant with my first which is very exciting but now that I have started looking around at the options my head is spinning!
I have private health insurance and would prefer to have my baby in a Private Hospital but the costs seem to be huge! Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me? I have been told by a few different Obs that the out of pocket expense could be around $3000 - $5000. This seems crazy doesn't it?
What are you thoughts on Private verses Public? Has anyone done both and what would you do again?

Thank you very much for your help with this as I don't know who else to talk to as I have not told anyone yet that I am pregnant.
