Where are you delivering

[Pink73]

Where is everyone going to have there baby.
I have had both of my DS at the Wesley here in Brisbane and have no complaints. Both VB and both only using gas and hoping the 3rd will be the same.

So where are you having your bub

[mixy]

I am having a home birth.
I delivered both my other two at the logan hospital, i also have no complaints, but at home is for me:)

Being in a rural area, I really don't have much choice! It's Wodonga hospital for me - I'm lucky I'm here, any other town within 100km, and I'd have to travel.

I had DD at Tweed Heads Hospital in NSW which is quite a distance from where I live but DP wanted it that way It was a lovely hospital but so far from family and friends. I want to have this bub at Gold Coast Hospital and DP thinks otherwise but I am the one birthing this child so I really think it's my desicion what do you ladies think should I keep pushing for the hospy closer to home?

[GeorgiaAnne]

Hayleysmummy - IMHO I think you should be wherever YOU are comfortable :thumbsup:

I'm going to RPA birth centre in Sydney again, hoping to stay on the bc side rather than the delivery side!

:iagree:

I was told for my second that he would come alot quicker than the first so you may not be able to make the long trip.

I'm having this baby at home...bliss! :goodvibes:

[Taveon]

Babe #3 is booked into the Family Birth Centre at the Angliss Hospital in Ferntree Gully, VIC.

DS1 was born at the Angliss also, but in the normal delivery suite.

DS2 was born at South Eastern Private, VIC. I loved the 6 day stay. It was devine.

But this time, I want less intervention and I want to do it "My Way"....am looking forward to a carefree waterbith:fingerscrossed: with no drugs.

[MummaDJ]

I'm still deciding lol. I suppose it would be at Bundy Base but wonder if I could sneak down to Brisbane in my last month :laughing: We'll see but I really think it will be the base up here.

My first son was born VB with Gas only for an hr. He was born in under 5.5hrs so will be interesting to see how quickly this one come.

[waahoo]

Definitely NOT having it in Nigeria! :laughing:

I knew a girl who did and the anesthesiologist (I highly doubt that's spelled correctly:detective:) had gone home for the night so she couldn't have any pain relief and was not a happy camper!

I haven't the faintest idea where this baby will be born at the moment! We are planning on moving sometime in the next couple of months, so it will depend on if we go to a country that has good medical or not. If not, I guess I'll be flying home to have it!

Like pregnancy isn't enough to think about....

[Africamum]

Wahoo - I agree with your sentiments, unfortunatly there is not a lot of respect for the mother in this country - you either do exactly what you are told (if you are spoken to at all) or you have the baby on the dirt floor of your hut - drugs are not an option, and men are still not permitted or encouraged anywhere near the birth.

I will be having my baby as St John of God Subiaco (Perth) - which is where I had DS. I would have gone to Mercy but as of September 08my Ob doesn't deliver there any more so SJOGS it is. I found some of the midwives to be rude first time around.

While I will be having an elective C Section - I would just like to say how excited I am by the homebirthing mums in this group and I am very looking forward to hearing and sharing your jouney. I truely believe that women today should be empowered to have the birth of their choice. I congratulate all of you for being strong enough to persue the birth of your choice. :)

[hayleysmummy]

Well I was going to push to have this bub at Gold Coast Hospital.But 2 lovley hubbers have just informed me of the Gold Coast Birthing Centre which is run through the public system so wont cost me a cent.I have just given them a call so hopefully I will be accepted :fingerscrossed:

[kymmy]

Hopefully at home wherever that is. We have to move soon.

Hi, I will be having this baby at the Selangor Private Hospital at Nambour. My little girls were born there. First one, naturally with no drugs and a water birth, dd #2 epidural after a huge labour. I thought the second birth is supposed to be the easy one....not for me. I wonder what the next one will be like.

Hi Donna!
I didnt realise u where on the Sunny Coast! I am as well!

Im having my bub at Nambour General Hospital. I had my DD there 2 years ago and very happy with them. I know what they are all about as I work in special care nursery on occasions.

[susmamma]

On an operating table.
They'll zip this one out.:D

[Katelyn'sMum]

I'll be having mine at Mercy Hospital in Perth. That's where I had Katelyn & it was lovely there. :)

[juzzy]

Hopefully be having this one where i had DD, at Monash medical in Clayton (Melbourne)

[jacks mum]

I have had both of my DS at the Wesley here in Brisbane and have no complaints. Both VB and both only using gas and hoping the 3rd will be the same.

[layneypossum]

I will be having my baby in Hornsby Hospital in NSW. They have just built a new Maternity ward, so i can't wait to see it. My sister and friends have had their babies there and i havent heard any complaints.

[haileye]

At this stage we will be going to Mater Mothers in Brisbane... definately wasn't going to Logan hospital, I have heard really bad things about them :no:

[Manz]

Well..... I am a tad nervous about the Hospital thing...
My last two births were at Nepean Hospital in NSW, and I loved it..... But this one will be at Redcliffe
I have heard great and not so great things about them - I am just generally nervous because I will be out of my comfort zone - as in not really knowing much about this hospital, as I was so so familiar with the other one I was at...
Does that all make sense!??

I have only heard really good things about the mater :yes: and when my DS was in there at 6months I could not talk highly enough of them big:thumbsup: from me

I no what you mean about the comfort thing thats why I am sticking to the Wesley.
Can you do a tour of the hospital maybe it might help a little.

[hotpink]

I was tossing around between private & public and thought since I had the private health cover Id go to Kareena Private hosp Miranda NSW. The obstetric fees were/are phenominal however I just thought you don't have a baby every day and it's no more than what I'd spend on a holiday so. . . Well, that's how I justified it. .

I had my first one 18 years ago at Paddington Women's Hosp but that's since been removed. I was 19 at the time and it didn't cost me a cent . .

[crafty_gnome]

I'll be having my bubba at Sydney Southwest Private in Liverpool, NSW. Don't know anyone that has been there to have a bubba, but when I had my D&C there the staff were great.

Hotpink - lots of my friends have had there babies at Kareena and were very happy there. If we lived closer I would be going there to, but the thought of being in labour and stuck on the M5 just doesn't do it for me. Have you thought of Sutherland Public? I work there and the staff in Maternity are wonderful. I haven't met one of them I don't like yet.

[Sissy]

I had my DD at North West Brisbane Private Hospital.

I had my DS at Cairns Private Hospital.

At this stage we will be having bubby at Cairns Private, but there is a possiblity we will be moving back to Brisbane before September.

Does anybody have any experience chaning OB and hospital's half way through??

[loz10]

Hello pregnant mums! I will delivery this one at Manning Base in Taree, both my sons were also born there and no complaints, except they never believe you are further dilated than they suspect...You know, you are always 3cm! :doh:

[mixy]

haliey, i hear you dont want to go to the logan because of the "bad" stories, i just thought i would point out that 1- there are 'bad' stories from every hospital, and 2- i delivered both my babies at logan and i can tell you they were fantastic. I know its your choice i thought i would just put that out there.

P.s. although i am planning a home birth for this baby i have booked in at the logan as my back-up :)
