I have been privately to a GP who delivers at the hospital I was going to 3 times and through the antenatal clinic once. Each time i was a public patient. The difference with antenatal clinci was I got the dr on call for the delivery, no choice about that. The other way I pd the medicare gap ea visit $15 and $500 after the birth for the Dr attending the birth. This way I got to choose my Dr, which I definetly recommend.

I didn't pay for any Ultrasounds and I had one at 12 weeks, one at 20wks and then one a week bf delivery to check size.

I was happy with the public hospital, the quality of care was great and I actually enjoyed being in the room with someone else, gave me someone to chat to. If you go in public you can stay for a week and still pay nothing.

Good luck with everything
