I went Public and had no problems...was extremely happy with the care they provided! Had a quick labour so I had the same midwife but my sister gave birth 2 months prior and had a long labour and a couple of diff midwives but they all treated her so well and the original one stayed with her past her knockoff time until bubs was born!!! That was great of her!!!
My friend is a Doula in Geelong...let me know if you would like her website address!! Doula's seem to be a good idea these days!!!
