I've actually had some really interesting discussions with my Ob. I've gone public (at the Mater Mothers in Brisbane - excellent reputation) and he is treating me like any other pregnant woman...... although - I do see an Ob every single time (and the same one at that - how amazing for a public service!). I asked to be switched to the midwife program and they were reluctant due to the pregnancy being IVF, so I guess in some ways, I'm not really being treated like any other pregnant woman. BUT he has made no mention of induction OR c-section. We wait until the labour process happens!

I had a chat with one of the midwives and she feels that women who have had IVF are stigmatised. They want to have midwifery care but sometimes this is not granted because the pregnancy is so "precious".

In my opinion, ALL pregnancies are precious - I guess having IVF we've just had to work slightly harder to get there.

Not sure where I was going with that - it's kind of off topic!!
Thanks again for all your input ladies.
