Hi NatG
I am due August 12. I think I will mostly see a different midwife depending on which day I set my appointments for...I put my yellow card in the box outside the office and it is whoever comes and picks it up I think.
I might call them tomorrow and ask again if there have been any places become available...sometimes women change hospitals halfway through their pregnancy, it's worth a try!
When are you due? You'll have to let me know how you go at Hornsby. The hospital overall has had such a bad rap in the media but the maternity section is just fantastic I have found!
It sounds like the team midwife program that I'm in and what you're currently in are quite similar. And of course it's total pot luck who's on duty when you're there in labour anyway. But so far, so good, all the ones I've met have been understanding, friendly and chatty, and don't appear to be the sort that will turn into nazis during labour!
It sounds like public hospitals in general get bad raps in the media almost constantly - and much of the time for good reason. But pleasingly, Hornsby's maternity ward has managed to stay out of the firing line!
