    Queen : it seems there are various charges for OB's, mine was $4500 then all visits where bulk billed, so already varied compared to the other gals. And I must admit
    once I was told we have twins onboard that upped the anty for my chances of a C/S, and that in turn would incur extra charges

    I'm in Melbourne, and am following the advice of a friend who had an unplanned cs on a Sunday ! She paid $6000 for her OB and would you believe he wasn't there to deliver that day, she had his collegue ! so there is no guarantee



    Perhaps call your fund and see exactly what your covered for, especially with regard to an anesthesia (hopefully not needed) and check the fine print in the hospital fees
