    Midwife Caseload options at Sunshine Hospital

    I was given some great info by the midwife I was going to take with me to hospital, the Sunshine Hospital has started a program (possibly adding to an existing one) which basically means that I won't be excluded from the caseload program because of my 2previous CS, I have an appt with them this week to see, but it sounds very hopeful. Being able to have midwives all the way in a hospital even after 2 CS sounds too good to be true!! Maybe there is starting to be some recognition that the medical "opinion" that CS is better is not actually supported by medical "facts" and "evidence"!
    Has anyone else heard of this program, and does anyone have any feedback/hints for me?

    Caseload at sunshine is fantastic program, with caseload you tell clerical staff you are interested and your name gets put in a book, the mw regularly check book for woman in there areas and pick them up depending on if they have space for the month you are due.

    A full time mw sees 45 woman a year (4 a month)

    Good luck
