I have private cover but have decided to go public (after much asking around for everyones opinions and advice).

As above for public info..

If you decide to go private, you do get lookd after by one person but you will still be anywhere between $1-2000 out of pocket by the time you have had baby (in my opinion thats alot of money I could spend on my bub)
My sister in law is a midwife and passed on this info for private, she has worked in both private and public and even though she has private cover, she also opted for a public birth etc. If you are having any difficulties or are perhaps over 35 then the personalised Ob care is great. However the statistics show that there is a huge amount more of interferance or assisted births (forceps, ceasers etc). Most OBs have a schedule whereas midwives will let you giv birth in your own time without hurrying things along, unless you want them to.

I know alot of people who went private first and then public 2nd time and said both were good experiences and there was no difference except the cost so why waste all that money I say.
