Food for thought, have you taken into account the different nursing care you will recieve in public hospital versus private. In a public hospital there is a set nurse to patient ratio which the hospital should obey. Not all private hospitals have the same ratios so i would be asking this before i booked into a private hospital as you do not want to be sharing your nurse with anymore patients than you have to. Especially important during labour and post natal care, if you need help breast feeding etc you don't want to have to wait forever for your nurse to be available.
