Hi kellsbells... it really does depend on your hospital as well. Our hospital is a public hospital which was set up as a birth centre as well, but never became one. So our birthing rooms have lounges & look more like hotel rooms & the hospital has 2 midwife clinics. One for low risk and one for general public. You have options to do shared care with your GP or midwife care as obstetric care is only available to higher risk pregnancies.

With my first pregnancy I chose the specialized midwives for the low risk pregnancy & found them to be incredible. During labour I wound up with a caesarean and so this pregnancy is considered non low risk, so I have generalised midwives.

With low risk pregnancies the rooms with baths are more available however, you can not give birth in the bath...

Most birth centres seem to be attached to a hospital. The one in Brissy is so if there is a need for more intervention they can quickly move you to the area you need to be in.
