I chose private first time as I wasn't happy with one of the public hospitals and what they put SIL through and the second was too far away. I had private health insurance and we decided to us it so I ended up at Mitcham private I ended up having an emergency c sect at 34 weeks as I went into pre term labour, my waters broke and DD was breech. I was more than happy with the care we had afterwards DD was in SCN for the weeks and had lots of check ups with a pead and a pead ortho surgeon for hip dysplasia.

With DD2 we went back to Mitcham, again I went into pre term labour at 35 weeks but was closley monitored for two weeks beofer going to into labour the only intervention I had was having my waters broken, DD2 was born naturally after a very short labour ( about 3 hours). I had gestational diabeties with the second pregnancy and I was given the choice of having a c section at anytime after I first went into labour at 35 weeks but my ob and the midwives supported my decision to let nature take its course unless I went past 38 weeks and DD seemed to big.

I am going back to Mitcham again for no 3 and my ob is happy for me to have a natural birth.
