    I am a gold coaster and I had my babies at Royal Women's due to the fact I was a high risk pregnacy.. I have nothing but great reports about that hospital.. Whether it was because I was high risk I got 'special attention' or not I am not sure, (wouldn't think so but you never know??) but I would definately recommend them and I wouldn't consider having my next bub anywhere else.. I would be interested to know anyone elses opinion??

    Dare I say it but my girls were born at Logan and I found them fantastic. My cousin is a midwife at Mater Private and she recommends Logan over Mater Public anyday

    Hi Nina,
    Congratulations on #4! I had my Bub 10 weeks ago at logan and they were brilliant. I was really unsure when I was preg and even considered going to the gold coast hospital but honestly I would highly recommend them. Hope your problem gets sorted

    No I didnt know they had a catchment area but I have always lived around the same area and have had all the kids at the mater. They said they just have too many maternity bookings for that time.

    Does the Royal have a catchment area? I might be forced to go to Logan or the Gold Coast I will check out Redlands too, I googled it but it only came up with the private one. Thanks for the input girls I will work it out

    Ok Royal does have a catchment area and I am not in it BUT I phoned Redlands and they sounded really lovely and they are quite happy to take me yay!!! So Redlands it is and it is actually closer than the others I am happy with that.

    Are you going private or public? I am with Mater Public.

    I got a similar letter from the Mater and freaked out. Turns out that they just referred me to a private obs at the Mater as a public patient. Are you sure they can't take you? I was sure they I would have to find somewhere else but the letter was just confusing.

    Best of luck hun .

    Wow, I didn't know that as a public hossy that they would refuse you! You could always just show up in labour...lol, dare them to refuse then!

    Glad you got it all sorted out though. Oh and congratulations too!!
