[Lillybelle]

North Shore Private, Sydney
Hi cindye,
How exciting! we are both booked in at NSPH. I hope we will be there at the same time. My due date is 9th May, but I think I will be having a planned cesear so I think I will probably go in a few weeks earlier (not 100% sure yet though).
Will you be booking into the antenatal classes?

[cindye]

Hi Lilybelle!
DH and I are going to our Early Pregnancy class next Friday night, and have booked in for the birth and parenting classes for next year - starting the 6th of march.

Who's your OB?

[Romi]

I think I'm going to Royal Brisbane Womens :)

[Lillybelle]

Hi Lilybelle!
DH and I are going to our Early Pregnancy class next Friday night, and have booked in for the birth and parenting classes for next year - starting the 6th of march.

Who's your OB?

We might just see you there! I have booked in with Dr Anne MacGibbon. I picked her from the list on the NSPH site, only because her location suited me. I have just posted on the OB forum to see if anyone has used her and there thoughts. I read your post about the costs, wow I was surprised. Maybe I should ring and ask them to send me out an estimate? Did you also say that you had to pay a fee to book in at the hospital? I have rang and booked in and sent in my forms but no one said anything about a booking fee?
Hope you have a great weekend.

[Rachel87]

im going to the Royal brisbane hospital :)

never Mater hospital again


Just curious why not the Mater?

I'm going to the mater, was totally happy with them for DS's birth.

[cindye]

Hi Lillybelle!

I had to fill in a credit card payment form and return it with my booking form. You didn't? I hope they haven't ripped me off!

My OB is Michelle Batey - I also choose her from the website, based on location! She's just a couple of minutes walk from where I live.

A friend is having her baby at NSP in a few weeks, and she said her OB was $6000 - don't know if that's an exaggeration, and if any if that was medicare / health fund rebatable, but I think having your bub at the North Shore tends to be an expensive affair!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

[mistymoon]

misty what are u due ?

I think I am due about the 25 May by the bubhub due date thingy but will know for sure when I see my GP.:yes:

[mirandaj]

I am going to go to either westmead private or hills private in Sydney. My OB delivers at both. I have tentatively booked Westmead Private as books out early, and hills does not book out as quick.

Westmead private is newer, however hills had more of a friendly/personalised atmosphere. Hills doesn not have many private rooms so have to share on first night. Westmead has a couple of double rooms but not as likely. Also they have spa's in delivery suites, and I hope to labor in water. They just did seem as friendly and nice in tour, so I don't know. What are all of your thoughts on this.

[GIZMOE]

I'm going to Calvary Private in Wagga Wagga.

[Just me]

im going to the Royal brisbane hospital :)

never Mater hospital again

Can I ask why ??

[amandaw]

Already booked in for the Wesley again - had a good experience last time, so cross fingers it will all be the same

[zera06]

Just curious why not the Mater?

I'm going to the mater, was totally happy with them for DS's birth





Cause the mater hospital nearly killed my son and they didnt they didnt even take proper care of me

[MelandChris]

Because we are being forced to move, I think I will deliver at John Hunter Hospital...... much more comfortable there than at Gold Coast, they took Good Care of me when I miscarried at JHH

[momno1]

Mater Hospital, Crows Nest. Just up the road from where I live so it's super convenient. Anyone else planning to give birth here?

[Sarahg]

port Macquaire Base hospital.

Thankfully, as I refuse to go back the the royal brisbane. Not a very nice place at all.

[Bel1978]

I think DH's cousin works at port Mac heheh.....

We will go back to Nepean Private again.

[JordansMummy]

I had my son at Osborne Park Hospital back in 2004. I was a public patient and they were absolutely fantastic, but now cos we got privaten health insurance a while ago, I am thinking double beds and my own room, like staying in a hotel for a few days, hehehe. So either Mercy Hospital or Glengarry Private Hospital.

Is their any WA mums here yet? Or am I the lone soldier??

[Kirilly's mum]

Hi Momno1,

I am booked at the Mater as well. I'm due on the 3rd June but will more than likely deliver in May given my first pregnancy went 2 weeks early. I had my daughter at the Mater and absolutely loved it. I would cry everytime we drove passed afterwards. Maybe we will see each other there.

Girls - I'm in the June group but will probably give birth in May. So not sure which group to join.

I've been off line for a while - moving house, heavens that's an awful job isn't it!

I'm going to the Wesley again too - fantastic experience last time. Maybe we'll be there at the same time? Whos your obs?

[inka2980]

I'm going to Knox private - Melbourne.

[katiemaree]

Mercy Women's in Heidelberg- Family Birthing Centre!:thumbsup:

[cassie0011]

im going to Monash medical centre in clayton, vic

[Kayangel]

Im going to Dandenong Hospital in victoria.

[happybunnypony]

i'm going to Royal Brisbane. I hope it's all okay there! It's funny you hear good and bad things about each hospy, it's hard to decide, but it's closest to us, so i guess that's going to be it. Unless we end up moving down the Gold Coast before i'm due...then i think it will be GoldCoast hospy!

[Chezza]

I'm booked into the Wesley as well. This is my first baby and we visited a friend who had their baby at the Wesley and it was very nice. My ob is Nikki Whelan, who is yours?

[MaddisonsMummy]

im booked in at nepean public :)

[becskids]

Hi Girls,

Wow sooooo many goood and bad. We are off to the Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital again, never had a problem with the other 3.:flowerz:

Misty moon we are due around the same time i think my date is the 26th from my last scan, but if anything like the other 3 that date will change.

We should try catch up, and might be able to see you in there:smiliedance:

[mummajugs]

Blacktown Birthing Centre for me!

Seems really good there!
:yes:

[mybutterfly]

I'm going to Royal North Shore Hospital and then after the birth I'm hoping to be transferred to Royal North Shore Private or the SAH.
