Hi Fiona, I'm having the same dilema as you. But I've already had one bub at a private hospital. I had a cs (which I didn't want) and although I got to stay in a lovely suite for 6 days the midwives were not very nice. They were always rushed and understaffed. A midwife brushed me off when I knew I had a bladder infection and they also failed to pick up that DD wasn't attaching correctly and as a consequence 5 days post birh my milk had not even come in properly.

If I knew our local public hospital was having a trial with the one on one midwife care there would be no doubt that I would go there.
