I loved going private, I found peace of mind in the continuity of care with my ob and the private room once bubs came along where my husband also stayed the night for 6 nights was great to get used to my precious new bundle.

I thought the out of pocket expenses were worth it, but I could afford it. It does seem to be a luxury (ie not necessary) because your baby and yourself are in good hands in the public system too.

Congrats on your pg & H&H 9 months!
