Where are you having your bub?

[Pices_79]

I am have our bub at Burnside War Memorial Hospital - where I had our DD in Jan 06

Where are you having your bub?

[Pink73]

I am having #3 in Brisbane at the Wesley where I had DS#1 sep05 and DS#2May07

[Hels*Bels]

I'm going private this time, so hopefully I will be having bubs at the South Eastern Private Hospital, by elective CS (due to medical reasons).

[epiphany]

I had #2 at South Eastern Private last time but am having this one at St John of God (Berwick) because it's closer & they have refurbished the hospital since Wee Man was born & can now guarantee I'll get my own room after a c-section...whereas before, they couldn't (& no way am I sharing a room after major surgery when I'm paying for it!).

[HelloKitty]

Francis Perry in Melbourne and in the new building. :thumbsup:

[justmum]

Mercy Hospital, Mt Lawley. :thumbsup:

[angelbaby013]

if all goes well in the Birth Centre next to King Edward Memorial Hospital in Subiaco, Perth...

i really want a relaxed environment and :fingerscrossed: for a water birth :smiliedance:

[fugly]

It's a toss up between Hua Shan hospital in Shanghai or Selangor hospital in Nambour QLD..
If it is the latter - it means I have to spend 3 months in Oz - which I am really not complaining about as it will be COLD COLD COLD in Shanghai :) BUt means 3 months away from Hubby and the kitty cat :no:

[Sassi]

Royal Prince Alfred in Sydney for me...

[3already]

Joondalup Hospital...i'm a RN there so looking for some special 'inhouse' treatment :laughing:

[Cordelia]

I'm going to St John of God, Murdoch. Went public at Armadale last time so looking forward to experiencing it from the other side!!

[Bubble*Crazy]

In Bunbury - still undecided if I will be a public or private patient though as they have apparently changed the private maternity ward to a lot of double rooms, not single, so I'm not guaranteed my own room one anyway ... they're right next door to each other and it will only be for the birth that I'll be there as all care is done by my GP

[Hels*Bels]

Oooh :fingerscrossed: for your water birth. I wanted one last time but that went out the window when I had an early bleed in labour.

[Pices_79]

Wow - we are all over the place! Great to hear where you are having your bubs!

[Mamalicious]

I have my heart set on a home birth, I'm not sure if it will be possible though.

Have to wait and see. :yes:

[Mummy to Mason]

We are private this time, but I'll be having the baby at our towns public hospital because our private hospital don't deliver babies :thumbsdown: We have the option of travelling to a better private hospital but the closest is 2 hours away and I don't think it's very practical with a toddler to also think of.

I am hoping for a much better experience this time :fingerscrossed: I will most likely have my own room which I am looking forward to.

[k2ma]

We are moving to Perth in 3 weeks so think it will be there...yet to decide which hospital.

[Mummyto3blue]

I wil probably be going Monash hospital again, or maybe even Frankston. Im too high risk for Berwick (esp. if theres twins) which would be awesome but you have to go through a gruelling process to get accepted there.

[borntobemummy]

this is our dilemma, we are going for a VBA2C and our local hospital flat out said they don't do them. So we are either going to have to just show up at the hospital when I'm just about ready to push, or we have a freebirth (can't afford a homebirth). It really sucks that we're in this predicament, but I have faith that somehow it will all work out. I also have my heart set on a water birth.

[HarrisonsMum1972]

We're booked into have Bubba Number 2 at the Mater Hospital at Crows Nest in Sydney. It's where we had our first child in August 2006 (by c-section) and I had no hesitation in booking in there again. My husband reckons it's more like a hotel than a hospital!!!

[nickle]

I am hoping to go private this time at Westmead Private it will be a 20 to 30 min drive but the childrens hospital is right next door. I had my previous 2 in public, I am looking forward to going private this time!!!

[Hels*Bels]

I wil probably be going Monash hospital again, or maybe even Frankston. Im too high risk for Berwick (esp. if theres twins) which would be awesome but you have to go through a gruelling process to get accepted there.

I had my DS at Casey Hosp in Berwick, but I was low risk and had no complications. I could go back but I'm going private this time.
I've heard that Monash is very good though.

[krixly]

I will be going to the Mater Private in Cleveland (near Brisbane). I had ds there and it was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! I have to have an elective c-section too, due the c-section with ds so I will probably actually be having bubbie in December!!!! Hope it is ok for me to stay in the January group???? :)

[Hels*Bels]

Krixly - It's fine to stay here hun, there are a few of us in the same situation too. At least you are sharing your journey with others who are at the same gestation :yes:

What I found last time was that the bubs were born in dec, jan and feb so it all ends up spread out anyway.

[TheMamma]

I'm hoping to have Bubs at The Bays Private Hospital in mornington.

[jazzyjules]

Hopefully at Kaleeya Hospital in East Fremantle although we live about 30 mins away, my sis had her latest baby there and it's more like a hotel but my GP recommends King Edward (specialist baby hospital in Perth) since I had a brain hemmorage although it's no good for me since I'd have to go to specialist brain hospital if something was to happen plus I hate King Edward since they made me wait 18 hours for a D&C last year when I miscarried which took only 15 bloody minutes!!!!!

Another thing my GP suggested although toooooo late now is to appoint an obstetrician BEFORE getting pregnant as some are booked out 12 mths in advance in Perth and is very hard to get one, Kaleeya has a clinic that I hope to go to but they have also been known to 'close' the clinic to new patients if they too many patients due around the same time, so fingers crossed I'll get in but they don't take any new patients until your 12 weeks anyway.

[jembelina]

I'm having mine at the Mercy in Heidelberg, Melbourne. HAd last bubby therrea nd found it great. I'm actually going to chat to them about eh birthing centre, although I don't know what the deal is with having had a vbac previously as well as blood pressure issues. Hopefully it is booked out anyway so I don't have to feel dissapointed when they say no!
I'm hoping to labour at home for longer this time too, but that will depend on wether my mum is here to help with the kids.

[Angbaby]

I'm going either Westmead Private, (my sister had her two children there and it was great) or Hills Private Baulkham Hills, not sure. Think I'll decide after I've taken a look at both.

[Incy Wincy]

I'm hoping to have Bubs at The Bays Private Hospital in mornington.

I'm going to The Bays Hospital too. I had a little op there last year and they took really good care of me.

[Samaras Mummy]

Either Logan or Mater!

[akn]

i am going to the Mercy birth centre in Heildelburg vic

[TheMamma]

I'm going to The Bays Hospital too. I had a little op there last year and they took really good care of me.


That is really good to know......

The sounded great when I spoke with them.

Who is your ob? I'm going with Dr Andrew Griffiths.

[SurpriseBubba]

I have absolutely no idea where I am having it! :laughing:

I don't have a car so I'll be relying on public transport to get to appointments.... so I dare say it will depend on who is easier to get to for appointments with a crappy son in tow :dizzy:

My two options at the moment are Redlands and Mater.... and I really don't want to go to the Mater.... but I think at the moment it's the easiest to get to! :thumbsdown:

[Bindy79]

Either the Mater Mothers in Brisbane ( i had #1 there) or the Sunnybank Private Hospital (depending on costing) I can go to public hospital as private patient but I still get to share a room anyway.

[*Bec&Bel*]

Not too sure yet, moving to sydney (picton area) in about 5 wks, could be at Campbelltown Hospital, camden or looking at bowral aswell. so yeh im not too sure what hospital at the moment. Although i can imajine...... Going into labour at home, thinking ill just wait out a little and end up having the baby at home!
See what happends.....

[TheMamma]

I have pictures of me giving birth on the kitchen floor as the whole labour with DD was 3.5 hours. I know nobody in our new area and DH works an hour away. LOL. I hope my DD will be a good midwife at 20 months!:laughing:

[Incy Wincy]

That is really good to know......

The sounded great when I spoke with them.

Who is your ob? I'm going with Dr Andrew Griffiths.

Snap!! I've not met him yet but I have my 1st appt next week. My FS recommended him and I did a search on Bub Hub on him and the Bays Hospital and have read some very encouraging comments.

[TheMamma]

We might cross paths!


I'll be interested to see what you think of him!


We''ll have to catch up for a coffee (decaf!)

[krixly]

The Mater mothers is great (I work there!!). The Brand new hospital was opened last Friday and it is beautiful!!! Not like the old one at all!! The private at Mater Mums is brilliant too!! :yes:

Sorry! Just spotted your post. I must be getting pregnancy brain :o.

I've seen Andrew a couple of times now and I like him. The ladies on reception are friendly too. Are you seeing him too?

Yes, happy to meet for a coffee. I'm pretty flexible as DS#1 is at school. Hope you're feeling better now. :)

[mrsmamo]

Hi Girls!

We decided to go Wollongong Public. We were close to going Private but decided against it as im only going to be there for a few days and i can 'rough it' for those few days lol.

We went to visit friends that had their baby 2 wks ago at Wollongong public and really the only thing she had to complain about was the food but they have a microwave that you can get ur family to bring food in to heat up hehe so im not worried :)

[Mamalicious]

Where am I having this baby? I have no flippin idea. :no::hair::hissy:

[readytotry]

Sandringham District Memorial Hospital :D

[EmyLou]

Bathurse Base, we dont have a big choice :)

[tkav]

Going to the Frances Perry just down the road

[Mummyto3blue]

Going to Frankston Hospital!

[newmothergoose]

Sandringham Hospital in Melbourne!!! I have my 1st midwife appointment tonight. Yay!

[Bexta]

I'm going through Belmont Hospital to have a homebirth :fingerscrossed:.

But if something goes wrong, I'll go to the John Hunter Hospital.

[mrsgrumpygills]

i am going to the Mercy birth centre in Heildelburg vic

I'll also be at the Mercy in Heidelberg. I had my son in the Family Birth Centre in 2006 and I found them terrific so I am going back. I stayed at home for quite a while before I went in, I think that helped a lot, there was no stopping it by the time we got to the mercy! My friend recently had a C/S at the mercy and she said they were great. She went to a private hospital for her first C/S and she said the Mercy was soo much better.

[readytotry]

Sandringham Hospital in Melbourne!!! I have my 1st midwife appointment tonight. Yay!

Im going to Sandy too! Where do you live newmothergoose? We must be close :)

[melissa76]

Peel health campus private (unless i get to fat then they ship you off to king edward in which case i would hunt for another private hosp that has beds built for big sexis like myself.)

[nadia]

I am going to Hills Private in Baulkham Hills.

[earthfairy]

Im having bub at Darwin Private Hospital :D

[fugly]

I have decided to have DS in Shanghai - Hua Shan Hospital :)
I SO want to get "made in China" tattooed on her butt :laughing:.....
It was a hard decision but 2 friends have given birth recently and 2 more in the next few weeks and they have all been happy with the Doc and hospital so think it is for the best to stay together as a fam (DH would have only come to OZ for 2 weeks) and let DS be in his usual environment ....
BUT I hate the cold and it will be the middle of winter :hissy:

[missmum05]

I am having bubs at tweed hospital where I had dd :)

[1stTimeMum09]
