Hi Leslie, just tried to pm you with my GP's details but it says you can't receive pm's - not sure why....

Just quickly, there are one and two bed rooms at Frankston hospy, so if you are lucky you will get a one bed, they do tours on a Saturday morning of the maternity section.
They have lots of services, lactation, sleep, etc as part of the maternity service and the midwives will certainly help you initially with the breastfeeding. See if you can get your pm working and I will pm the details.
Cheers

My GP does what they called shared care and he does actually attend births....I know he does at Peninsula private for sure so i would assume he has similar rights at Frankston...he has done extra training in certain areas and is able to handle low risk pregnancies and births.....the other Gp i know of is the same.

There are a few who do this, the GP i did shared care with, with my first pg practises obs so can deliver the baby if its a vaginal birth.

If you are in the Langwarrin area you could try John Seimeinowicz at Langpark medical centre.....he does shared care......

no worries if you cant, just wanted to know:
a) were you a public or private patient at frankston
b) your GP details

Thanks and no worries if you cant email me. will just have to keep posting to get up to 50 (a bit of an odd rule).

thanks

My sister gave birth last year at Frankston as a public patient. She was seeing an OB but he didn't make it to the birth. She delivered with 2 midwives & she thought they were just fabulous. She says next time she will not bother with OB & see the midwives instead.
