Hi ladies,
Might sound like a silly question, but do you have to have the Ob/Gyn present if you choose to go Private? :confused:
I had DS in a public hospital, just me, DH and a wonderful midwife, who left us alone when I wanted and didn't ask me twice when I refused the drugs. I had a super birth experience and the Ob/Gyn popped in after it was all over :p.
Since then we've got private health insurance and upgraded to include Obstetrics (as in our policy you have to have had it for 12 months - so it's too late after you're already pg).
We have moved towns and the private hospital here is apparently wonderful - but someone told me that the Ob/Gyn is present for the birth, even if they're not required?
Still got time to make up our minds - no :bfp: yet :p.
Thanks in advance for any comments!
