I'm going private to have our baby. I like the idea that i know i'll have the same carer all the way through & that i'll get a private room. I have a back issue so i felt more reassured having the one carer.

Our biggest cost will be the Ob fees plus travellingto the city also. My PHI has an excess too. I've built up enough bons points to cover that though i thnk. As long as bubs is on our PHI before the birth we pay nothing while in hospital.

I've actually had people trying to convince me to go public & it's made me feel a bit guilty for wanting to go private. I know a few people who have had their babies at my chosen hospital & have given it great reviews. I feel very confident in the choice of hospital we've made.
