I see you live in Perth, because I could have sworn we are talking about my OBS in Melbourne!

I am extremely comfortable and happy with mine too. He was my OBS for my DD and I decided after much careful thought into what type of model of care I wanted (I chose private hospital again) that I'd see him again & I am so glad I did. I too don't get rushed in any of my appts, he went through my birth notes and his notes when I saw him for my DD. We talked about the decision I had to make in relation to where I wanted to give birth (which hospital) and how I wanted to give birth (I had an emerg. c-sect with DD). We talked about risk of VBAC (uterine rupture etc..) and repeat c-sect. Told me I had plenty of time to decide or change my mind (I have chosen VBAC). If I change my mind & decide c-sect he said that is my choice, however is cheering me on for a VBAC and as he said if I don't give it go, I won't know. I also talked about my choices in hospital being respected by him & the midwives & that they are all on the same page (in as many circumstances as they can be) and what the % of successful VBAC is at the hosptial I have chosen - all answered honestly & frank.

I wish you all the best for your upcoming birth & it sounds like you are in great hands!
