Um yeah.......I would think with a private OB that you will have to pay something. They don't just do it for the love of it! Depends on your situation though, maybe your hossy/OB has some sort of arrangement???? I don't know many women who have done shared care with an OB, but those who did certainly paid for their OB.

As soon as I booked in with my OB at 4 weeks his receptionist sent me a heap of info, including his fee structure, so I have been well aware of it since day one. I would be giving yours a call tomorrow to see what the deal is! Good luck
